That casting decision was baffling. The whole thing about OJ is that he’s a big imposing guy, and Cuba is like this little chihuahua.

I can’t get over his weird raspy voice. OJ has a deep, smooth voice. It’s like he never saw an interview with him before and made a random creative choice.

Maybe they felt he could convincingly play a predator

I think it was a paranoia that if OJ were played by a big, imposing guy it would alienate audiences.
