With the airing of episode 5 of “American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez” earlier this week, we have now officially reached the halfway point of the 10-part FX drama about the rise and fall of the former Patriots tight end.
That also means that viewers have met the majority of the cast of characters in the Hernandez saga, from his earliest days as a child growing up in Connecticut to his days in Foxborough — both as a Patriots player and as a defendant on trial for murder.
Episode 5 of “American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez” has some show-stopping moments for Norbert Leo Butz, the actor playing Patriots coach Bill Belichick.
