best part for sure. And she looked pretty damn fine. Who is that actress?
quote:saw that and said something out loud when it happened.
Anyone catch how they cut to OJ praising an episode of Seinfeld at the poker game right after the scene of the black and white jurors divided between Martin and Seinfeld? Just another subtle reminder of how OJ had abandoned the black community.
Am I the only one here looking up all kinds of episode recaps, vanity fair fact checks, and all kinds of other information about the trial since this series started to air?
I didn't really pay much attention when it happened and was pretty shocked the verdict was not guilty, but I just didn't listen to the nightly recaps on the news.

The OJ Simpson trial was amazing. It was the nations first reality television show/movie. All the people involved (Lance Ito, Marcia Clark, Darden, Cochran, Shapiro, Kardashian) all became famous.
It had sex, race, class, sports, Hollywood, murder of two beautiful people......and even the Kardashians.. All of this was on television every single day for the 2nd half of 1994 and almost all of 1995.
The first time I ever heard the name Kim Kardashian my first thought was if she was related to the OJ lawyer.
Can you imagine being Marcia Clark and spending the first 40 years of your life as a normal person and then suddenly being on television every single day for nearly 1.5 years?
Can you imagine being a jury member and being sequestered from your friends, family, tv (internet barely existed back in 1995) for 8 months???
.
I feel like Robert Kardashian is coming off as the most sympathetic character on the show (besides the families of the murdered). Imagine finding out a lifelong friend is accused of murder and slowly coming to the realization that he actually did it. Also...he dies and his family goes to crap.
I watched way too much of the trial and I feel most of the casting and portrayal of the principal players is spot on, aside from not making O.J. seem tall. The lone exception to the awesome cast is Lance Ito, to me it doesn't really look like him at all and is actually distracting.
I feel like Kardashian is getting a really nice edit on this show. He legit had doubts and I'm sure struggled with his role in getting OJ off, however he also reactivated his law license to join OJ's defense team in what appears to be a pretty obvious move not to be called as a material witness or potential accomplice after the fact.

quote:But to be fair, he joined the legal team very early in the game. If my best friend was on trial and I truly thought he was innocent then I'm sure that's what I would do (if I was a lawyer). Not sure if he really had this level of doubt as the case progressed but I find it believable.

quote:Exactly, even the glasses have the wrong Rx. Ito was a little round faced man, the actor, aside from possibly being an Asian male, bears no resemblance.
In the book it said Ito had a habit of hunching over while in his robe so it made him appear paunchy. Or fat... In real life he was fit and athletic, as they tried to portray him when his wife came into his office to sign the waiver. In the show, in that scene, he looked as if he was wearing tennis, or racquet court clothing, I'd assume to give the audience the impression he was into keeping in shape.
The leather chair isn't that close. Probably two totally different breeds of cows.

If this bothers you, how do you even stomach scenes with CGJ as OJ?
I thought they look pretty similar.

I like that the Dancing Itos made an appearance.

I think if you asked people who were not watching the show and did not witness the trial....50% or more would guess the actor was on the left. He looks like the more dramatic of the two.
I just realized this. I kept thinking that the guy playing Detective Lange looked familiar, but I could not place it.
Its the same guy that played Frank Sobotka in the Wire.

For the eleventybillionth time, this show is not a documentary, but a dramatic reenactment from a 20 year removed lens. The point isn't so much physical portrayal as it is character motivation.
I mentioned that Cuba needed to be filmed so that he looked taller, Mr. Sharpton. Cuba is a much better actor than the dude playing Ito, so that goes a long way. Obviously his voice is higher, but his intonations and mannerisms are very close to O.J.'s.
Fake Ito not only looks noting like Lance, he also doesn't act like him either. I bet the real Lance Ito would have been in this mini-series, he was the biggest media ***** of them all.

Why does he need to "look exactly like him"? Why is that "distracting"? Is he portraying the character fairly? YES. So what's the problem?
The guy playing Lance Ito looks exactly like him. Sounds just like him also. The only two characters that don't come off exactly like they did in real life are OJ and Robert Shapiro.
I don't blame Cuba Gooding or Travolta for this. Both of those actors are already very well known.

One of the more shocking things from the last episode actually happened in real life.
" LOS ANGELES As his nine grueling days of testimony drew to an end Tuesday, criminalist Dennis Fung flashed a rare smile after having gone longer than anyone else on the witness stand so far in the O.J. Simpson double-murder trial.
Then he vigorously shook hands with the former football star in clear view of the jurors, electrifying the courtroom.
Warmly smiling, Simpson firmly gripped Fung's hands in a gesture that reminded observers of two combatants congratulating each other after a furious match.
"That's the way you shake hands with someone after you've played the toughest game in your life and now it's over," said author Joe Bosco, who is writing a book about the trial.
With the often-sarcastic, never-relenting Barry Scheck as its man in the ring, the defense team had just spent more than a week pummeling the soft-spoken Fung with allegations that he helped police frame Simpson for the murders of his former wife and her friend last June.
After a last round of requestioning and re-requestioning, Fung gave a visible sigh of relief as he stepped down from the stand and perfunctorily shook hands with prosecutors.
Then defense lawyer Johnnie Cochran Jr. strode over, offering his hand. Looking surprised, Fung extended his hand. Then Simpson and Fung clasped hands, and Robert Shapiro embraced the state's key witness.
The surprising emotions of the moment apparently caught sheriff's deputies off guard, since they have barred any handshaking with Simpson.
Outside the courthouse, Fung would not reveal his feelings about the defense team or the handshakes. Cochran, however, was not equally taciturn.
"It's not ever personal; it's never personal. We're just doing our job," Cochran said. "I think he understood that."

Here's something I haven't seen mentioned here:
The woman who plays the jury foreman:
is the same actress who played OJ's wife in the first Naked Gun movie:
"Mrs. Nordberg, I believe we can save your husband's arm...............where would you like it sent?"

Esquire Sets All-Day O.J. Simpson Trial Marathon
Didn't the juror who went crazy in the show the same juror who posed for playboy after she was dismissed?
Did any of the jurors write
Books afterwards or were they forbidden to?
