See how the amazing cast of 'American Crime Story' transformed to bring the O.J. Simpson trial back to life
FX
FX is hoping for another hit from "American Horror Story" co-creator Ryan Murphy with his upcoming true-crime anthology series "The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story."Based on Jeffrey Toobin's book "The Run of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson," the limited series will look at the Simpson trial from the perspective of the lawyers.
It will explore the chaotic behind-the-scenes dealings and maneuvering on both sides of the court and how the LAPD's history with the city's African-American community affected the trial.
The show has a stellar cast playing the actual people, including Cuba Gooding Jr. as Simpson, John Travolta as his attorney Robert Shapiro, and Sarah Paulson as prosecutor Marcia Clark, among others - and the costuming, hair, and makeup certainly do a lot of work.
