O.J. Simpson’s TV & Movie Roles: ‘The Naked Gun,’ ‘Roots’ & More

O.J. Simpson recently passed away at 76 years old after a battle with cancer. While Simpson was an NFL player and an actor, he was mostly known for the 1994 trial where he was found not guilty of the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman.
