This dude really should get into movies, he has the movie star look and everything. His parents did a very good job of raising him. He was empathetic, kind, understanding but also showed great leadership qualities. I love how he saw "the inventor" in the weird guy and shows him the movie which contains a misunderstood inventor instead of seeing him as a weird creep (which lets be honest most of us would have and then avoided him like the plague). Instead he wanted to bring him out of his shell. Or how he was willing to take the fall for James and his turd, and the paparazzi incident and be the wingman for the nerd. What a lovely guy. He would make a great friend, I am sure.

The thing is, most members of the general public haven't served on a jury before (and indeed, that was one of the criteria for the Craigslist ad).
