Filming for Ryan Murphy's American Crime Story: The People v O.J. Simpson got started in LA this week, giving us our first glimpse at the major players in character. Selma Blair made a spot-on Kris Jenner [1] in a black jacket and skirt after the actress and the real-life Kris Jenner met up at an event [2] on Tuesday. Kris Jenner's late ex-husband, Robert Kardashian, is being portrayed by David Schwimmer, while John Travolta [3] took on the role of litigator Robert Shapiro. Cuba Gooding Jr. is in the main role as O.J. Simpson as the series follows the early '90s murder case against O.J., who was on trial after the deaths of his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and waiter Ronald Lyle Goldman. Also tied to the series are Sarah Paulson as Marcia Clark, Connie Britton as Faye Resnick, and Jordana Brewster [4] as Denise Brown.
