Watch John Travolta Portray Robert Shapiro in ‘American Crime Story’ Teaser

John Travolta is back on TV and he’s ready to ask an important question.

“Anytime I take on a new criminal case, I always ask the new client a question. Now, I won’t be judgmental …” Travolta, as attorney Robert Shapiro, asks of Cuba Gooding Jr.’s O.J. Simpson in the latest teaser for “American Crime Story.”

The nail-biting clip cuts right before Shapiro presumably asks Simpson if he killed his ex-wife, Nicole Simpson Brown and her friend, Ronald Goldman.

“American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson” premieres February 2016 on FX. The true-crime series, which counts Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk among its exec producers, will spend its first season chronicling Simpson’s much-heated murder trial.
