Juror profile: Peter Segal A responsible, organized, hard-working businessman; well respected by the other jurors. Takes his role very seriously, feels privileged to have been called. However, his father-in-law's growing interest in the case and constant questioning puts Segal in a difficult position. The trial could be thrown if anyone finds out he's been discussing it. A busy actor, Michael Maloney has done a lot of Shakespeare in addition to contemporary dramas. His previous Masterpiece Theatre performances include The Last Place on Earth, Henry V, Painted Lady and Me & Mrs Jones. Maloney had been in court only twice prior to the start of filming The Jury: 'Once was for research purposes -- I wanted to see how the whole procedure works. On the other occasion I was a witness on a case where I'd been the passenger in a car accident. I find it all extremely interesting.'
