Washington, January 28 : Hollywood actor Jake Gyllenhaal was reportedly seen checking in at a Los Angeles court as part of the jury selection process on Tuesday, in connection with an upcoming misdemeanour battery trial.

According to TMZ. com, the 28-year-old star went through court questioning in a private room to determine juror suitability.

He will be returning to court on Wednesday to find out whether he has been picked, reports Contactmusic.

Madonna was considered for jury service in the city last year, but was dismissed by the judge during the selection process.

Actors Forest Whitaker and Don Cheadle also managed to escape the civic duty.

However, Steve Carell was elected to serve on a jury during an employment dispute case in January last year. (ANI)
