“Jury Duty Star Alan Rosen Shares Morning Routine Secrets From Since Day One of the Show”
In the world of television, relationships often fade away after the cameras stop rolling, but Jury Duty is a rare exception. Even two years after its premiere, Alan Barinholtz, the real-life lawyer who played Judge Alan Rosen, shared in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE that the cast’s bond has only strengthened.
The creators, Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, drew inspiration from imagining a sitcom about a trial with a real person surrounded by unknowing actors. This unique concept led to widespread critical acclaim, with Jury Duty receiving three Primetime Emmy nominations and two Golden Globe nods.
The Amazon series captivated audiences with its unconventional format, revealing that all but one participant was aware of the staged mockumentary. Ronald Gladden, the unsuspecting breakout star, believed he was part of a real court case while the rest of the cast, including actors like James Marsden and Mekki Leeper, delivered comedic gold through improvisation.
Barinholtz revealed that the cast of Jury Duty has maintained a ritual of playing Wordle together every morning, bringing them closer even after the series ended. Additionally, the ensemble stays connected through a group chat where they share updates and celebrate milestones.
As fans reminisce about the show, it’s evident that the camaraderie among the cast was genuine. The daily Wordle games, group chat discussions, and support for each other’s endeavors showcase the lasting friendships formed during Jury Duty. Barinholtz and his co-stars prove that beyond acting, real connections can blossom.
