Actress Uma Thurman is scheduled to appear in a New York court on Monday as a witness in the trial of her alleged stalker.

Jack Jordan, 35, is charged with misdemeanor stalking, aggravated harrassment and felony coercion.

He is accused of behaving bizarrely towards the star, threatening to kill himself if the Kill Bill actress began dating another man.

He is also alleged to have presented Thurman with odd drawings, including a cartoon sketch of himself "walking along the edge of a razor blade", and sent a letter reading, "I feel afraid that if I see you out again with another man, I will want to kill myself, maybe even after we meet."

Jury selection began on Thursday and the trial will kick off on Monday at Manhattan’s Supreme Court.
