If you're surprised that Academy Award-winning actor [1] Sam Rockwell was cast in the role of choreographer Bob Fosse in FX's upcoming biographical miniseries Fosse/Verdon [2] then you definitely have not been paying attention. Sam is a dancing machine, and he loves showing off his moves as much as we love watching them. No matter where he's performing, he always manages to sneak in a mini dance scene, and the only thing we can't believe is that it's taken this long to cast Sam as an actual dancer.
