Jury Duty Interview With James Marsden

The ‘Night And Day’ Difference Between James Marsden On 'Jury Duty,' And James Marsden Off Set, According To Ronald Gladden

Transcript

00:00 What would you say has been the biggest difference

00:03 between the Marsden that you got to know on set during trial

00:08 and the Marsden that you've gotten to know

00:10 since the show has ended?

00:12 - That's a solid question.

00:13 I would say that it was literally

00:15 a night and day difference.

00:17 The Marsden that I got to know on the show

00:18 and then the Marsden in real life

00:20 are two completely different people.

00:22 Like I went into this thinking that James

00:24 was your stereotypical, you know,

00:27 I've always had kind of the stigma

00:29 of people in the industry, they're conceited,

00:30 they're full of themselves, you know, their ego is huge.

00:33 And so when he was playing that off, I was like, wow,

00:35 this is just a stereotypical Hollywood actor, I guess,

00:38 you know, and then seeing that that's not who he was at all,

00:40 like that was just such a relief for me.

00:43 - And it must be like, you must be reflecting on it.

00:46 Like, holy shit, this guy's impressive, right?

00:48 I mean, like who knew that he had improv chops like that?

00:52 - Oh yeah, and I mean, James is so like

00:55 multifaceted as well too.

00:56 Like the thing that upsets me

00:58 is that more people don't know James for his comedy

01:01 because he is hilarious,

01:02 like in "Tour de Pharmacy" as well too,

01:04 like he has so many different,

01:05 obviously "Sex Drive" goes without saying,

01:07 but he has so many movies where he's so funny,

01:10 but I feel like because he's so talented

01:12 and he does absolutely everything that, you know,

01:15 there's not a lot of focus on his comedic aspect.
