Josh Andrés Rivera as Aaron Hernandez in American Sports Story
Producers Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson explain why American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez does not feature Tom Brady. The latest American Story media franchise project American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez tells the story of former New England Patriots football player Aaron Hernandez, in the events leading up to his much-talked-about murder trial.
Brad Simpson: I guess it depends on your perspective. Nina’s much more of an avid sports fan than I am, but I think for a lot of people, Bill Belichick and Urban Meyer are insanely famous. I think the real centerpiece of fame here is the teams themselves: The New England Patriots, the Florida Gators. These are massive institutions that gather insane crowds.
What This Decision Means For American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez The Big Name Appearances Still Work For American Sports Story Close Jacobson is right that the producers had to make a tough decision when deciding whether to include more football players in American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez. Tom Brady is one prime omission, as Jacobson mentions that they"weren't going to just throw in Tom Brady just for the sake of throwing in some Tom Brady.
Simpson also makes a good point in noting that the figures they do include, like Bill Belichick and Urban Meyer, are huge names of their own for those generally aware of sports history. Though the show may have some crossover appeal to a general audience, American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez's main viewers will likely be those interested in football already. Said audiences will still feel the star power of Belichick and Meyer, even if the widest possible audience would recognize Tom Brady.
