GYLLENHAAL FACING JURY SERVICE

Hollywood actor JAKE GYLLENHAAL is facing jury service in Los Angeles as part of an upcoming misdemeanour battery trial. The star was seen checking in at an L.A. court on Tuesday (27Jan09) as part of the jury selection process.
Gyllenhaal was allowed to go through voir dire, court questioning to determine juror suitability, in a private room, according to TMZ.com.
The 28-year-old will return to court on Wednesday (28Jan09) to find out whether he has been picked.
Madonna was considered for jury service in the city last year (08), but was dismissed by the judge during the selection process.
Actors Forest Whitaker and Don Cheadle also managed to escape the civic duty, while Steve Carell was elected to serve on a jury during an employment dispute case in January last year (08).
