O.J. Simpson and Louis Mandylor in Frogmen (1994)

Trivia

Frogmen

Edit
Produced and filmed in early 1994, this made-for-TV movie was never publicly released because it was intended as a pilot for an NBC series to air in the fall of 1994 and, following O.J. Simpson's arrest, any plans for producing the series were canceled. The completed film, the dailies, production reports, scripts and all other paperwork were confiscated by the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office and examined during the course of the murder investigation. It was argued, at one point, that O.J. Simpson's training for his character as a Navy S.E.A.L. in Frogmen, might have facilitated his ability to commit the murders. After Simpson's acquittal in 1995, the film remained (then and to this day) confiscated in the property of the Los Angeles Police Department.
During a break in filming, Todd Allen accompanied O.J. Simpson to a cutlery store where Simpson purchased a knife. The Los Angeles Police Department believed that that knife was the murder weapon which was never discovered.
O.J. Simpson's last film work prior to the death of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and the effective ending of his acting career.
Evan Handler, who played a member of Burke's (O.J. Simpson) team, would later play Alan Dershowitz, one of O.J.'s defense attorneys in American Crime Story (2016).
