Actor Danny Huston was spotted outside the Old Wayne County Building around 11 a.m. clad in a suit and overcoat and clutching a briefcase. He was sporting the shaggy blond hairdo that’s a style signature of his character, attorney Geoffrey Fieger, who famously defended Kevorkian.

However, what is even more strange is when you see the city of Rosebank, New York play the role of Royal Oak, Michigan in the upcoming HBO biopic on Dr. Jack Kevorkian.  The production of You Don’t Know Jack; which stars Academy Award winning actor Al Pacino, is already well underway.  Not really sure why this movie is not filming in Michigan?
