John Travolta will be in FX’s ‘American Crime Story.’
The 60-year old actor will play O.J. Simpson’s defence attorney, Robert Shapiro, who was part of O.J. Simpson’s ‘Dream Team’ and defended him on two counts of murder after the deaths of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.
Travolta will also serve as a producer in the new series in what will be his first television role since ‘Welcome Back, Kotter.’
Production on the FX series from Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson, Scott Alexander, Larry Karaszewski and Dante Di Loreto is set to start early in 2015 in Los Angeles.
