David Schwimmer To Play Robert Kardashian In "American Crime Story"

David Schwimmer is set to play the role of Robert Kardashian in the new television series "American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson".  





The TV show centers around the O.J. Simpson murder trial from the perspective of the attorneys. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the television series "will display 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."

Robert Kardashian, the late father of Kim, Khloe, Kourtney and Rob, was O.J.'s lawyer and friend. He died in 2003 at the age of 59, eight weeks after being diagnosed with esophageal cancer.

Cuba Gooding Jr. was first cast as Simpson while Sarah Paulson is expected to portray prosecutor Marcia Clark.
