Producer Ryan Murphy has cast two major roles in his 10-episode FX miniseries take on the O.J. Simpson trial. Cuba Gooding Jr. (Jerry Maguire, The Butler) has been cast as football star turned murder defendant Simpson and Sarah Paulson (American Horror Story) has landed the role of prosecutor Marcia Clark.

 

The project will mark the debut season of Murphy’s American Crime Story, the Glee and American Horror Story co-creator’s upcoming anthology series that dramatizes major headline-making true crime stories. In a way, it’s like a nonfiction version of HBO’s True Detective – which is often described as a crime drama version of Murphy’s own anthology format trail-blazing AHS.

 

The full title of the first season is American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson, and chronicles Simpson’s 1995 two-count murder trial that captivated the nation. ACS is based on the book The Run of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson by Jeffrey Toobin. Murphy will executive produce the series along with Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson (The Hunger Games) and Brad Falchuk (Glee) and screenwriters Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski (The People vs. Larry Flynt). Murphy will also direct at least the first episode.

  • SPOILER ALERT
    Now is this the trial in which it was felt the dried up bloodied glove did not fit so they did acquit leaving the penalty for these murders as basically time served. or the trial to reclaim lost memorabilia for which he is now sitting in jail.
