Malcolm-Jamal Warner has joined the cast of FX’s “American Crime Story: The People vs. O.J. Simpson” from Ryan Murphy, Variety is reporting.
Warner will play A.C. Cowlings, the former pro football player and protective friend of O.J. Simpson, most known for his role in the murder trial as the driver of the white Ford Bronco in the infamous televised police chase.
