The Jury: Who's Who

Johnnie Donne Juror profile: Johnnie Donne
A jack-of-all-trades fresh out of rehab and currently battling alcohol abuse. A charming rogue with stereotypical good looks. Despite being well on his way to recovery, Johnnie fears that the stress of jury service will send him off the rails again. His fears almost ring true when he falls for juror Rose Davies.

Gerard Butler was raised in Paisley, Scotland and attended Glasgow University. While shooting his first film role (Her Majesty, Mrs. Brown) Butler saved a young boy from drowning in the River Tay; he received a Certificate of Bravery from the Royal Humane Society. Of his role in The Jury, Butler says: 'I have lived a wide and varied life that has taken me to so many places and shaped me as an actor. Without experiencing some real low points including battling with alcoholism I would not have been able to play Johnnie. I can really relate to some of the more negative aspects of his character.' Butler will be seen in the upcoming films Timeline and in Tomb Raider 2 (both scheduled for summer 2003 release).
