"Update: FX has now denied reports that OJ Simpson may appear in Anger Management. A spokesperson said &amp;quot;it will never happen&amp;quot;. Original story: OJ Simpson has been linked to a role in Charlie Sheen sitcom Anger Management. The former football player and actor, who is currently serving a 33-year jail sentence in Reno, Nevada, was recently mooted to a senior FX exec and received a positive response.   Simpson&amp;#039;s promoter Norman Pardo told the New York Post: &amp;quot;[The FX exec] said, Anger Management with OJ Simpson? That would be a perfect fit! &amp;quot;OJ would play a thinly veiled version of himself - a famous con who&amp;#039;s pissed off about being unjustly incarcerated.&amp;quot; Pardo added that Simpson is up for the role but the FX exec said: &amp;quot;All good ideas, but still need the network to agree to having OJ on the show.&amp;quot; A cast member on Anger Management who wanted to remain unidentified apparently told Pardo: &amp;quot;I could see OJ pulling in record numbers for the show, especially if there are parallels to his sentence for armed robbery and kidnapping in the Vegas case. &amp;quot;A lot people feel that was way too harsh.&amp;quot; Sheen hired Simpson&amp;#039;s then-attorney Yale Galanter to sue the producers of Two and a Half Men in 2011, following his sacking from the series. Judge Linda Marie Bell is yet to rule on Simpson&amp;#039;s case. She could grant him a new trial or set him free on the time he has already served. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
