Photo Flash: Nathan Lane & More in FX's THE PEOPLE V. O.J. SIMPSON: AMERICAN CRIME STORY

Below, check out character portraits for FX's THE PEOPLE V. O.J. SIMPSON: AMERICAN CRIME STORY, a limited series that takes you inside the O.J. Simpson trial with a riveting look at the legal teams battling to convict or acquit the football legend of double homicide. The series premieres tonight on FX.

Based on the bookThe Run of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson by Jeffrey Toobin, it explores the chaotic behind-the-scenes dealings and maneuvering on both sides of the court, and how a combination of prosecution overconfidence, defense shrewdness, and the LAPD's history with the city's African-American community gave a jury what it needed: reasonable doubt.

From Executive Producers Ryan Murphy, Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson, Scott Alexander, Larry Karaszewski and Brad Falchuk, The People v. O.J. Simpson: AMERICAN CRIME STORY stars John Travolta, Cuba Gooding Jr., Sarah Paulson, David Schwimmer, Courtney B. Vance, Sterling Brown, Nathan Lane, Kenneth Choi, Christian Clemenson and Bruce Greenwood. The limited series is produced by FOX 21 Television Studios and FX Productions
