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.

Take a look at the actors in character next to the real-life people they're portraying below:
