From Oregonian to TV Star: The Surprising Rise of Ronald Gladden
Ronald Gladden, an Oregonian who participated in the comedy series "Jury Duty" as a juror, has become an unlikely celebrity after viewers appreciated his good nature and sincere appeal. Gladden was hoodwinked during the filming of the series, and only found out about the ruse once it was over. Since the show's final episode, Gladden has been making the rounds at events promoting the series, giving interviews, and otherwise basking in his unasked-for fame. Despite his newfound celebrity status, Gladden says he's not trained in acting, but has signed with the Artists First agency for representation.
