Ryan Murphy continues to piece together what will likely turn into his next hit show. "American Crime Story: People Vs. O.J." is scheduled to begin filming in Los Angeles within the next few months, and it is lining up quite an interesting list of names to portray key players in one of the most well-known trials in recent American history. We have already told you about David Schwimmer, Sarah Paulsen and Cuba Gooding Jr. being signed to the project, and it has now been confirmed that John Travolta has been cast as Robert Shapiro. According to a report by Deadline, "Travolta also will serve as a producer on the miniseries, which takes a look at the O.J. Simpson trial told from the perspective of the lawyers that explores the chaotic behind-the-scenes dealings and maneuvering on both sides of the court, and how a combination of prosecution confidence, defense wiliness and the LAPD's history with the city's African-American community gave a jury what it needed: reasonable doubt. "This marks Travolta's first TV series role since the 1975-79 comedy "Welcome Back, Kotter." He joins David Schwimmer, who plays another Simpson attorney, his confidant Robert Kardashian; Cuba Gooding Jr, who portrays Simpson; and Sarah Paulson, who plays prosecutor Marcia Clark."
