In the 2016 TV miniseries The People v. O. J. Simpson, who portrayed Robert Kardashian?

David Schwimmer portrayed Robert Kardashian in the 2016 TV miniseries The People v. O. J. Simpson.

The series dramatized the 1994–1995 murder trial of O. J. Simpson and was the first season of the anthology series American Crime Story. Schwimmer’s role focused on Kardashian’s work as part of Simpson’s defense team and his personal connection to the case.

Robert Kardashian was the father of Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, and Rob Kardashian. He had been a close friend of Simpson and served on the defense team during the trial. The real Kardashian later became widely known through his family’s television career, but the miniseries centered on his earlier legal work.

The role is sometimes confused with other prominent cast parts: Cuba Gooding Jr. played O. J. Simpson, Sarah Paulson played prosecutor Marcia Clark, and John Travolta played attorney Robert Shapiro.
