James Marsden

thinks that the world worships them when they actually don't at all.

And watching that person get humiliated, fall on their face, get embarrassed by the lack of enthusiasm in the room.

I mean, this James Marsden is always trying to get the conversation steered back to him because that's the only conversation he knows and it's the only conversation he's interested in.

No, it was.

I mean, there were a number of things that could have happened that would have torpedoed this whole endeavor.

And we got really, really lucky.

With him...

mostly with him because he just is one of the kindest, empathetic, you know, wonderful human beings that I've ever met.

And he kind of took it all in stride and laughed it off and, you know, all the absurdity, the crazy things that are happening in the courtroom.

So they did an amazing job of finding him.

And then we got to know him

on day one, right?

When the cameras started rolling and I had only had a few days of rehearsal because I was finishing up Party Down at the time and the other cast members had another week and a half of rehearsals because it was very strategic on... Very choreographed.

Where do you sit?

It was just intricate and I remember thinking just sweating bullets.

Just like, I don't think I'm ready for this.

I don't know if I'm going to be funny.

I don't want to be the one to blow the whole thing.

But all they told us was...

His name's Ronald Gladden.
