Now he wants tiger blood on his hands.
O.J. Simpson may soon team up with fellow pariah Charlie Sheen in an effort to resurrect his acting career.
In anticipation of being sprung early from his 33-year stretch at Lovelock Correctional Center outside of Reno, Nev., The Juice hopes to land a recurring, comeback role on “Anger Management.”
Simpson’s longtime promoter, Norman Pardo, recently pitched the idea to a senior production exec on the FX series and was met with a resounding thumbs-up.
“He said, ‘Anger Management’ with O.J. Simpson? That would be a perfect fit!” Pardo told The Post.
On the show — whose June 2012 debut drew 5.47 million viewers, making it cable’s highest-rated sitcom premiere of all time —, Sheen plays Charlie Goodson, a former minor-league baseball player who conquered his own anger issues to become a successful therapist and who conducts anger-management sessions with an inmate group at a state prison.
“O.J. would play a thinly veiled version of himself — a famous con who’s pissed off about being unjustly incarcerated,” said Pardo, adding that he mailed Simpson notes on the role last month, and that Simpson is game.
“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. A lot people feel that was way too harsh,” a cast member, who declined to be identified, told Pardo.
Sheen has already been associated with Simpson on two fronts.
In 2011, in the wake of being axed from “Two and a Half Men” for “moral turpitude,” the bad-boy actor hired Simpson’s then-attorney, Yale Galanter, to sue the show’s producers for breach of contract.
Five years earlier, Sheen’s then-estranged wife, Denise Richards, said in divorce filings that he “displayed what I can only describe as an abnormal fascination with Nicole Simpson’s death and showed my mother and I her autopsy photographs, which I found very disturbing.”
But getting a green light from the cable network might prove tricky. Pardo relayed a message from the FX exec: “All good ideas, but still need the network to agree to having O.J. on the show.”Bell, who could grant the double-murder acquitee a new trial or set him free on time already served, has yet to rule in the case.
Simpson’s acting career began in 1968 with an uncredited appearance on the TV show “Dragnet” and culminated in 1994 with a starring role in the big-screen comedy “Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult.”
His plans for a Hollywood comeback will be moot unless Las Vegas District Court Judge Linda Marie Bell shows him mercy.
In May, Bell presided over a weeklong hearing during which Simpson’s new attorneys, Patricia Palm and Ozzie Fumo, sought to have his 2008 conviction tossed on allegations that Galanter’s incompetence and conflicts of interest made it impossible for him to get a fair shake in the robbery trial.
