If the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit—but what about tighty-whities?
Cuba Gooding Jr. got a sense of what it was like to be in
O.J. Simpson's shoes—and underwear—as he shot a scene in character for FX's
American Crime Story: The People vs. O.J. Simpson.
As you can see from these set pics, the Oscar winner was waving a gun
as he ran from a white Ford Bronco like the one made during that
infamous 1994 slow-speed car chase.
The entire first season of
American Crime Story, a new anthology series, will be focused on the high profile trial in which a jury found O.J. not guilty of murdering ex-wife
Nicole Brown Simpson and
Ronald Goldman.

Cuba is joined by quite a cast of characters in the series, which is produced by
Ryan Murphy,
Brad Falchuk,
Nina Jacobson,
Brad Simpson,
Scott Alexander,
Larry Karaszewski and
Dante Di Loreto.
David Schwimmer is making a grand return to acting in the role of O.J.'s friend and defense lawyer
Robert Kardashian, and
Selma Blair portrays Robert's then-wife,
Kris Jenner.
John Travolta plays
Robert Shapiro, another member of O.J.'s "Dream Team
," and
Courtney B. Vance portrays head attorney
Johnnie Cochran.
Connie Britton plays
Faye Resnick, Nicole's friend and a witness in the trial, and
Jordana Brewster plays
Denise Brown, Nicole's sister.
Prosecutor
Marcia Clark is portrayed by
American Horror Story's
Sarah Paulson.
Scott Alexander, one of the series' producers, told
Vulture of
American Crime Story, "It's going to be a hoot."

"The strange thing about the trial is that they [the real-life
characters] all shoved themselves onto television and so a lot of
lawyers ended up becoming 'personalities,' which is very unusual," he
continued. "So everybody in America knows this entire cast of lawyers
and witnesses and hangers-on."
American Crime Story is tentatively set to premiere in early 2016.
