Bill Belichick’s character played by Norbert Leo Butz made a brief appearance at the end of episode 4, but we will definitely see more of him in the rest of the season.
Tom Brady’s character is played by Ross Jirgl and Rob Gronkowski is played by Laith Wallschleger.
The first installment of FX’s “American Sports Story” is based on the podcast Gladiator: Aaron Hernandez and Football Inc. from The Boston Globe and Wondery.
The 10-episode limited series charts the rise and fall of NFL superstar Aaron Hernandez and explores the disparate strands of his identity, his family, his career, his suicide and their legacy in sports and American culture, according to FX.
In Tuesday’s new episode, “struggling to fit the mold of the Patriot Way, Aaron reconnects with an old love interest and seeks out a dangerous new friend.”
The former New England Patriots tight end was convicted of murdering semi-professional football player, Odin L. Lloyd in 2015. Lloyd was the boyfriend of Hernandez’s fiancée’s sister.
Days after being acquitted in a second trial on charges of shooting two men in a car near a Boston nightclub, Hernandez died by suicide inside a Massachusetts maximum security prison in 2017.
Here is a look at the limited series from FX Network’s YouTube Channel:
