Courtney B Vance was born to play this role. Phenomenal.

This is probably the only time in history where the real life guy was more attractive than the actor playing him. OJ Simpson was a very handsome man. Cuba is a good actor but he can’t compete with OJ Simpson looks wise. Sorry.

Hell of a speech

This is all dramatise they have to do it to make it sell.

“Then change their minds!!” Good advice for many situations.

Courtney B Vance is so good he ALMOST has you rooting for a murderer.

I absolutely love this energized pep talk no profanity raw feelings lawyer speaking the truth.

The weirdest part about this but also probably the best and most character defining thing about this scene for Cochrane specifically, is that this whole scene feels like it's from a movie from an alternate universe where OJ didn't do it and this was actually an inspiring story.

This is so damn good it makes me laugh. Courtney B. Vance was brilliant with that speech.

So....is there any confirmation any of this was actually said?

"You shall not kill." Exodus 20: 13. "Anyone who hates his brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him" 1 John 3: 15.

Wow just wow 💯💯💯💯

Courtney Vance could sell water to a whale

OK is guilty, that said I listen to this motivational speech all the time

Maybe a little to much beer lmao

Absolute Garbage show. 1st O.J. and Jonnie Chochran are much bigger than the rat Robert Shapiro. But Hollywood is full if lies show they used Travolta who is much bigger than Shapiro. This is how Hollywood often puts Bigger white men with smaller black men. This whole casting was a big lie. Also, in real life the defense destroyed them from begging to end. Another TV show full of fake narrative and was given awards by more bs Hollywood people who help shape lies!

The acting, the cinematography, the dialogue 🔥 🔥 🔥

OJ was a narcissist and LOVED it when people spoke good of him so I 100% believe Johnnie uplifted him like this. What a show. What a trial.

I SWEAR TO GOD ON EVERYTHING I LOVE . . WIFE, KIDS & GRANDKIDS . . THIS IS THE BEST DIALOGUE IN TELEVISION HISTORY. THIS “FX” SERIES WAS CAST SO WELL, EVERYBODY WAS SO AMAZING. #joverg #jumpshotsovergunshots

This is one of the greatest goosebumps moments in television history

Courtney B Vance has incredible voice he got there 👈👏👏

Despite Cochran's shady behavior, this speech can apply to anyone facing personal problems.

He is unquestionably an inspiration... There are plenty of people around the world who would love to kill someone and get away with it; OJ gives them hope! 💯

What a great motivational speech. Johnnie also knew oj was a narcissist so not only did he motivate but appealed to ojs ego. Brilliant.

Courtney Vance and his wife (Angela Bassett) are two of the BEST ACTORS EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PERIOD

Beyond outstanding acting

I can picture the real oj watching this crying

This scene actually brought a tear to my eye

One of the best mini series ever

Johnnie was a grade A scumbag but man could he talk like the best of ‘em

The Juice ….🏈

CAPTIVATING!!!!!!!

Man I been watching this series for 2 weeks over and over nothing else good on but Courtney B Vance is amazing in this if this was a movie it would be Oscar worthy performance omg

THIS RIGHT HERE!..... is how he won the emmy

Gawwwdammm! I literally threw a ric flair wooooooooooooooo after he said “OJ Simpson this is the run of your life” then my chick told me to shut the fuck up cause I woke up the baby. Dammi boi

Great scene

Say what you will, but Courtney is the best actor to portray Johnnie, IMO...

Courtney B. Vance is a brilliant actor. Highly underrated. He earned his Emmy win as Johnnie Cochran. This scene is exactly how he won it.

This speech showed how charismatic & inspiring Cochrane was. I think its wrong that he turned a double murder into a racial issue & I read that Johnnie thought oj was guilty before he got on the case but I do respect that johnnie was trying to help black people & expose the LAPD's bad apples. It would have been great if his client was actually innocent. If he had a truly innocent client that was the victim of LAPD corruption then it would have been great. I also agree with Darden here , they never should have used furhman. They had more than enough evidence w/o the gloves & those damn gloves from both marcia & chris ruined the case. Marcia for using furhman to introduce the gloves bc he found them & Darden for having oj try them on. It's insane to turn evidence over to the defendant to help prove that he did it thus sending sending him to prison. It's like oj got to testify without cross. Those gloves had latex under them & they were drenched in blood which shrinks leather. As a kid of 13 not knowing all the details or the years of retrospection when I saw the gloves did not fit I thought " oh he did not do it " truthfully after listening to some of those jurors they had the intelligence level of a 13 year old. One woman saying about the dna " they said it was 1 in 150 million that it was not oj , well theirs more than 150 million people on the planet " or the other woman who said " this is a murder case if they wanted to try domestic violence go to a different court room " is she serious? Did she not see that if a man beats his wife over & over that the odds are he will kill her. Did the lawyers show statistics? Ace prosecutor vince bugliosi who put manson away said that's like saying eating has nothing to do with bulimia.

This speech made me feel like I could get away with murder

Woah I can totally hear Jim in this performance. Cuba might have well have been a young Elijah Wood. Such a wonderful delivery.

His delivery of that entire speech gave me chills. I would have given the man a standing ovation. Explosive and powerful scene. You can feel both actors burning brightly putting their heart and soul into the dialogue. Such an amazing series.

That shit was inspiring

The cinematography in this scene is really nice. The shot that rotated around the table as Johnnie talks is a nice touch, flipping your view as Johnnie flips OJ’s view of himself.

That final shot of Cochran delivering the “run of your life” line sends a shiver down your spine

The best part is that Cochran is lying: OJ had a bad game that day. Even to his clients, Cochran will lie to get what he wants.

I never knew HE WAS THIS AMAZING THIS SUPER TALENTED GUY SUCH A GREAT ACTOR . . COURTNEY B. VANCE

Ya couldn't keep it going for 3 seconds to get the end and the titlecard?!

If only Oj had thought about stuff like this in the first place, how much he meant to his fans, then he probably wouldn’t have done the things he’s done to Nicole

Vance & Paulson jus MVP'd this whole project. Amazing!
