My Interview With James Marsden


I'm not much of a reality-TV guy, but I was surprised by my reaction to Jury Duty, which is amusing but, mostly, very sweet. James Marsden plays an exaggerated version of himself in the series, the latest example of the X-Men star dissecting the hollow appeal of leading men. For Cracked, I had a long talk with him about the show, his career, comedy and his celebrity fantasy football league. (Turns out, the reason why he won last season is the exact same reason I lost my third-place match.) Hope you enjoy.
