 LOS ANGELES (AP) - Comedian Garry Shandling injected the first dose of star power into a Hollywood private investigator's wiretapping trial Thursday, testifying that he was troubled to find his name on an unauthorized background check.
Shandling was shown documents by prosecutors indicating that police databases had been searched four times for his personal information in 1999, searches prosecutors say were done by a former Los Angeles police sergeant.
At the time of the searches, Shandling was involved in a lawsuit in which he accused former manager and now Paramount studio head Brad Grey of taking excess commissions and fees from the HBO series "The Larry Sanders Show."
