James Marsden Told Us Why He’s So Happy Not To Be Involved In Season 2 Of 'Jury Duty'

In the first season of "Jury Duty," James Marsden was a significant highlight. The show was original and risky as it was by design, but the "X-Men" star added a special extra dimension by playing an exaggerated/super Hollywood version of himself. He earned a lot of acclaim for his work, and it was clear in the finale that he had a lot of fun… but at the same time, there is apparently no part of him that misses not being a part of "Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat."  In a bit of scheduling kismet, Marsden has been doing press as of late for his new movie "Mike And Nick And Nick And Alice," which just so happens to coincide with the release of "Jury Duty" Season 2 – and when CinemaBlend spoke with him during the recent press day for the former, we snuck in a question about his reality show experience.

00:19be

00:19maybe a big disaster. Actually, that's not true. I didn't think it was going to be a disaster.

00:25I thought it was because it's never been done before. It's easy to watch the show and then play

00:30Monday morning quarterback and look back and go, oh, I knew all along. But it was really a big swing

00:35and it could have been a big failure. But I guess I look at every job that way.

00:42But no, I think as much fun as I liked, as much fun as I had playing myself and sending

00:48myself up and

00:49satirizing Hollywood and celebrity and entitlement, I did enjoy that. I wish I could do that again.

00:54But I want the show to continue and I know that for it to be successful and to be effective

01:01that way, I can't really be a part of it anymore.

01:03So.
