After 36 years, John Travolta is returning to television

The iconic actor has been cast in FX’s O.J. Simpson miniseries American Crime Story. Travolta will star as defense attorney Robert Shapiro in his first series-regular TV role since his breakout 1975-79 sitcom Welcome Back, Kotter.

Travolta joins a cast that includes David Schwimmer as O.J. Simpson’s attorney Robert Kardashian, Cuba Gooding Jr. as Simpson, and Sarah Paulson as prosecutor Marcia Clark. Travolta will also have a producer credit on the 10-part drama, which is expected to be the first season of the true crime anthology series.

Well, it is obvious that Super Power and GAT II worked...and, John T finally got his ethics in. He probably came clean on all the "out TuDee activities on the "assist" massage table"....:unsure:

JT should do well here. :yes:

He'll be in a familiar role, defending criminals who ruin others lives then deny all knowledge of it.

I'm surprised the media hasn't reported on John's starring role in 'Gummybear: The Movie'. Obviously, he's also financing the production since the only stars cast so far is him, his wife & daughter.

This seems like an interesting story, Smurf.

Coldcallers pitching for investors in the Gummy Bear film John Travolta's agents know nothing about

The Screening House claim their £260m animated movie stars John Travolta but the Pulp Fiction star's agents aren't so sure



The boss of a coldcalling firm that wants you to pump your savings into an extremely risky venture says: “We do urge due diligence.”

Ok then. The firm is called The Screening House and it boasts of “years of experience” but was, in fact, only incorporated last September.

No less a star than John Travolta will be voicing the lead role, the firm says.

Projected revenue over three years is put at £260million and that’s not counting merchandising – though the small print rather undermines the effect of this massive figure with the warning that it is “for illustrative purposes only”.

So I carried out some due diligence and asked Travolta’s publicist if he was involved in Gummy Bear.

“We have no information on this film,” was the answer.

This, just for the comments, and some confusion because Disney has released a movie Gummi Bears ... something's not right!

http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/02/10/john-travolta-is-gummy-bear

And this Facebook page for the movie (in 3-D!) has 13 likes and just one photo, which is a graphic for the film, declaring 18 million views per month, on-line: https://www.facebook.com/gummybeart...0.1420664969./657032087690936/?type=1&theater

Clearing some more confusion, here's a clip, and as we see, the CG animation is what we see in the alleged promos:

So, they already have voices. Hmmm. And a website. http://www.thegummybear.com/

And if you click on news at the site, the latest entry is:

Rest, relax, and fall asleep to 30 continuous minutes of Gummibär’s Lullaby. Subscribe to The Official Gummibär YouTube Channel to be the first to watch new videos as they are posted!

If the voice does not fit, you must fergit.

I think television is a good gig for John. WB Kotter was iconic!

Vinnie: You scratch my back, I scratch yours.
Kotter: I can't do that. You see, my wife has an exclusive on my entire body. She'd be disturbed if I came home with a pre-scratched back.
