Look out, Michael Dorn! Cuba Gooding is playing O.J. Simpson this time around.
This is not John Travolta playing Arnold Schwarzenegger; it’s Travlota playing Simpson lawyer and LegalZoom pitchman Robert Shapiro.
Producers were able to land David Schwimmer to play Simpson lawyer Robert Kardashian (father of Kim, Kourtney & Khloe).
Producers went with Courtney B. Vance instead of Phil Morris (who will always be defense attorney Jackie Chiles to "Seinfeld" fans) to fit Simpson attorney Johnny Cochran.
Sarah Paulson looks Sigourneyesque as prosecuting attorney Marcia Clark.
Amy Madigan Billy Magnussen plays OJ houseguest Kato Kaelin.
While Ryan Murphy’s “American Horror Story” tells only fictional tales, the first season of Murphy’s “American Crime Story,” is based on Jeffrey Toobin’s nonfiction book “The Run of His Life: The People V. O.J. Simpson.”
The 10-hour miniseries will be directed by Murphy (“Glee,” “Eat Pray Love,” “The Normal Heart”) and written in part by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski (“Problem Child,” “Problem Child 2,” “Ed Wood,” “That Darn Cat,” “The People Vs. Larry Flynt,” “Man on The Moon,” “Screwed,” “Agent Cody Banks," "Big Eyes”).
As with “American Horror Story,” each season of “American Crime Story” will feature an all-new set of characters (possibly played by these same actors!).
