You know, I’m something of a Judge myself.
Celebrities? When was the last time politicians served jury duty? When was the last time they were even summoned?
David Letterman had jury duty once and wouldn’t shut up about it for several episodes of his show (he actually liked it.)
If you have job and financial security, it could be an interesting change of pace for a bit.
Im salaried, fuck it. Unfortunately my ADHD ass missed my last two jury summons that I had every intention of going to so they don’t ask my anymore. At least they didn’t arrest me 😅
Sheah, you’re definitely lucky they didn’t suspend you driver’s license or something… or did they? I guess you won’t know until you get pulled over and find out there’s a $10k bench warrant on you.
Nah, I actually had a cop out front of my house doing something unrelated to me and I asked him if he had a sec to run my license. I’d rather find out right then and there rather than get my car towed. He said I was all good lol.
Noice!
If I’ve ever seen the face of a jury nullifyer in my life, that’s it
I’m ready for celebrity jury the TV show
Realistically, seeing someone in a setting you do not expect them to be in would make you less likely to recognize them, so it would be less “Hey, Williem Dafoe is in my jury” and more “Hey, that guy in my jury kind of looks like the actor from Spider-man”.
Think of it this way, if Williem Dafoe shows up at say, a tech conference, and went around telling everyone “I’m esteemed Academy Award nominated character actor Williem Dafoe”, most people there are going to think:“Why is there a Williem Dafoe impersonator at this conference?” instead of “Why is Williem Dafoe here?”
Hiding in plain sight.
the actor from Spider-man
You misspelt “The Boondock Saints”.
It pains me to see you refer to William Dafoe as “that actor from Spider-Man”.
It’s his major recent work in public eye, plus the MCU is huge in terms of pop culture, so I’m using this as an example of how he might currently be recognized in public as, not that it is what he is best known for.
(I don’t want to talk about “Poor Things”… )
His most notable performance for me has always been his Academy Award nominated performance as Sergeant Elias in Platoon. But I do recognize that was 38 years ago.
To add to your statement: a few years ago, Henry Cavill went to Times Square in NYC wearing a shirt with the Superman S, and just hung out around signs for Man of Steel, and pretty much nobody recognized him (or if they did, they didn’t let it be known).
But then again, it is New York City, most pedestrian there are always in a rush to get to where they needed to be and wouldn’t take a second glance at even the strangest happening as long as it isn’t blocking their way.
James Marsden had jury duty once, used his celeb status to get out of being sequestered!
(Watch jury duty on Amazon, if you’re cringing too much just watch the last episode which is a re-cap and brilliant in it’s own right, my wife won’t watch the whole show but loved the last episode)
Surprised anyone has even seen that. Was a really fun watch.
Can’t watch Amazon anymore. They added ads.
sorry autist… what does this face mean to you?
I was going to ask. He almost seems happy?
His face is just serious and focused. Relatively neutral without a hint at what he’s thinking.
(With the meme context, this would be the look of someone who is trying to size you up)
I thought it looked happy and amused. Maybe this is why I have trouble with socializing lmao
There is a little lift on the right corner of his mouth, and given all the scarier faces he’s known for, he looks relatively cheerful here. I’d trust him on my jury, if I were innocent.
And if I were guilty, I would not trust him because he was my partner who turned me in and got away before he was identified. He’s smiling because he knows I know what he’d do to my parents if I snitched, and he’s getting away with my half of the fortune. I also know he’s most likely going to marry my girlfriend because the love triangle was so plain as day.
If it hadn’t been for Willem Dafoe, I’d be married a long time ago. Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from Willem Dafoe?
In all fairness Willem has more to offer your girlfriend than you do. And I’m not talking about the money.
It’s a pretty neutral face, the fact that people are arguing over it is kinda evidence for that.
“Resting Skeptic Face”?
Oh god imagine Tom Hanks sitting on your trial. I’d just plead guilty out of shame of letting America’s dad down.
One thing that concerns me about celebs on juries is that their compatriots on the jury might ascribe more power / logic to their takes because of their authority / celebrity as a public figure. “If Tom Hanks thinks so, he must be right…” “Oprah tells me what to read and gives away cars; how could she be wrong?”
Yeah, it’d be a real issue.
Imagine being in a jury with Willem Dafoe and disagreeing with him during deliberations.
Better call Willem Dafren to your side. … I’ll see myself out.
Reminds me of this one
It has an email address for people to send in pictures… I wonder if they did anything with them.
Yes. Even the president can get summoned but it’s unlikely either legal camps would want that much attention on their case. More of a distraction.
This ‘documentary’ one Jury Duty actually has James Marsden on the jury. If you haven’t seen it, yet, you’re missing out.
He is from Sonic!
But I have William DaFriend.
