Our hero, Gladden, was generally forbearing (even when it came to Marsden’s bathroom jury doody) but stood up to the actor’s more asinine antics.Īs much as he agonized, Marsden started to believe that the show might work when Gladden befriended juror Todd, actor David Brown playing an odd duck intended to weird him out. “He really did encourage everyone to go in at him, and to heighten his cartoon villainy,” Hatton notes. And then he gets out of sequestration by pleading stardom and throwing his cash and clout around. On the show, his character tries to get out of serving by secretly alerting the paparazzi to his whereabouts to prove how disruptive his presence would be, which ends up causing the sequestration of the entire group. I enjoy it I’ll send up the cliché Hollywood petulant brat.” “I’ll make an ass of myself all day long. The only aspect Marsden didn’t worry about was playing himself as a big baby. A lot of people have responded to the heart of the show, and it was a collaborative effort from everyone, but James was a big part of keeping us on track in that way.” “James would analyze each beat - he really put himself into Ronald’s shoes. “They were probably like, ‘Oh, my God, here’s Marsden again, worrying, worrying, worrying.’” Not so, u contraire, mon frère, says Hatton. “I was a thorn in their side for the whole thing,” Marsden says. So he took it on, while voicing his concerns daily when the cast gathered (without Gladden) to rehearse the obstacle course of sorts that they would put the unsuspecting Gladden through as he interacts with an assortment of eccentric jurors. I didn’t know if I could do this.” At the same time, he has longed to try improvisational comedy, citing “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “The Larry Sanders Show” and Christopher Guest movies as touchstones. “I was just panicking, because after 30 years of doing this, you know what to expect.
The guy is thoughtful and game, qualities that proved essential for his role.īut even after taking the job, Marsden called his agent to try to back out. And then carries them out again afterward. He did not want to do the show if it was at all mean-spirited.”Īs if to prove their point, Marsden shows up for an interview in a Hollywood hotel lobby without an entourage, helps find a quiet room to talk, and when that quiet room is empty of furniture, carries in armchairs. Then he worried that it would be cruel to Gladden, says Schulman, speaking by phone along with executive producer Nicholas Hatton (both of “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm”). First he worried that the show would be pranking him. Marsden was initially suspicious of the offer. Why has the nice guy become the thirst trap of 2023? ‘Jury Duty’ fans are swooning over Ronald Gladden.
