The actor, 48, will be portraying the late Robert Kardashian on FX's upcoming miniseries about the O.J. Simpson trial, American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson, based on Jeffrey Toobin's best-selling book The Run of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson.

Schwimmer will star opposite Cuba Gooding Jr., 46, as O.J. Simpson and Sarah Paulson, 40, as Prosecutor Marcia Clark. The series will tell the story of the "trial of the century" from the perspective of the lawyers involved.

Hadnt seen anything about this. So you've got

David Schwimmer as Robert Kardashian



Cuba Gooding as O.J.



And Sarah Paulson as Marcia Clark



Interesting casting choices

Hadn't heard about this, but really looking forward to it now

I won't be able to get Ross out of my head the whole time.

I live a block from where the murders were committed here in Brentwood. Drive by that duplex every single day. I've also seen Cuba Gooding Jr. at Q's - a bar in the neighborhood - more times than I can count. He must live around here. I can't really picture him as OJ, but with FX behind this (as opposed to Lifetime or one of the networks), I'm definitely intrigued. If anything, I really like the idea of telling it from the lawyer perspective.

No way David can reenact Robert's reaction when the verdict was read. I still don't know if he was I disbelief or sorry at the not guilty verdict.

Just walked down the street and got some pics of FX prepping to shoot outside of the real-life condo where Nicole Brown Simpson was murdered here in Brentwood (a block from my apartment). They're closing down the entire street and will be shooting tomorrow from around 11 AM to Monday at 2 AM...








The actual condo / scene of the crime...

I actually read Fuhrman's book about 15 years ago. The 2nd half of the book is basically him defending his reputation, but the first half has all his original crime scene notes. There was a pristine bloody fingerprint on the gate that he notes...and the crime scene unit never printed it. He attests basically "why would I immediately try to frame OJ when I knew the killer's fingerprint was there? If I'm framing OJ how would I explain that fingerprint if it's someone else's?"

There was also a bath drawn with candles lit all around. The cops' theory was essentially that OJ had come over, seen her answering the door in a negligee waiting on Ron, about to have sexy time with both kids sleeping upstairs, and went nuts.

While the cops made mistakes, the bungling of that case by Clark and Darden was just epic.

That's the casting they should have done

Re watching Marcia and Chris try Reverend Richard Wayne Gary Wayne right now

"Oj's in jail now. So who has four thumbs and loosened that jelly jar...?!

Trailer is out. Cannot wait for this.

Looks pretty good

The little mini trailers they showed during the breaks in Fargo were awesome.

John Travolta playing the part of Arnold Schwarzenegger?

Nothing else on Ent board on this?

My low expectations have been blown away. Must see television.
