“Jury Duty” Filming Locations Guide to Los Angeles

The majority of the 17-day “Jury Duty” shoot took place in a shuttered courthouse that was “last used as a community Halloween haunted house,” the show’s executive producer Cody Heller told USA Today. “There were just spider webs and fake zombies. Our crew went in there to rehab the entire thing.” The Spanish-style stucco building is located at 6548 Miles Ave. in Huntington Park, which is a mostly Latino community in between downtown L.A. and Compton. In the immediate area around the court are a handful of government and community services — an elementary school, middle school, library, post office and a community clinic.

In episode four, the “Jury Duty” crew visits Cinnamon & Sparrow’s fake factory where the alleged incident, and basis for the trial, went down. It’s here that hapless underachiever and fake defendant Trevor Morris (Ben Seaward), an employee of Cinnamon & Sparrow who lives at home with his mom and spends most of his time smoking pot, accidentally destroyed a batch of T-shirts. The factory is really this warehouse in L.A.’s Nevin neighborhood, according to the Dirt.

After the group field trip to the fake Cinnamon & Sparrow factory, they grab dinner at Margaritaville on the Universal CityWalk. If you’ve been to one of Margaritaville’s 28 locations across the U.S., Mexico and the Caribbean, this will feel familiar. In one of the funniest moments from season one, this is where awkward juror Todd Gregory (David Brown) unknowingly offends patrons with an unexpected fashion statement as his fellow jurors get overserved.

The jury is holed up at “the Valley Lodge” during their sequestration, which is really the Sportsmen’s Lodge in Studio City. It’s where, in episode five, Marsden and juror Ronald workshop the character of Caleb, which is the fake part Marsden is going for in the fake movie he talks about the whole show. The hotel is real, though, and has a long history in Hollywood. Due to its proximity to studios, it was known as a gathering spot for Clark Gable, Bette Davis, John Wayne, Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn, Marlon Brando, Doris Day, Gene Autry and others.

It’s not a location for the show, but high-end Italian restaurant Giorgio Baldi IS a place where James Marsden has been spotted. The “X-Men” and “Jury Duty” star was seen on a date with model Kelsey Merritt in April 2023, according to gossip site JustJared.

Also not seen in season one, but a restaurant where Marsden has been spotted in the past is The Little Door on W 3rd. It’s where he and another model — this time it was Suki Waterhouse — dined in April 2015, according to People.

This Old West-themed steakhouse is part of a chain and sits right on Sunset, next door to the Riot House and across the street from the Sunset Tower Hotel. It’s here that Marsden and fellow actor Jack Black rode the mechanical bull on a night out, according to TMZ.
