In stark contrast to Glee, Ryan Murphy’s American Horror Story is a dark masterpiece, featuring a murderous house, a haunted hotel, a cult, a witch coven, and everything else in between. As terrifying as the show’s premise is, the Emmy-winning series has gone on to attract some of the biggest names in Hollywood throughout its run.
These include Sarah Paulson (who has clearly become Murphy’s muse), Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett, Billie Lourd, Frances Conroy, Zachary Quinto, Connie Britton, Lady Gaga, and Cuba Gooding Jr. among others. And while it’s easy to assume that these stars easily got roles on the show, fans may be surprised to learn that the show’s casting process is not exactly straightforward. At the same time, some of the cast’s audition stories are just as interesting.
A hit show such as Murphy’s tends to attract a lot of talent. In fact, that’s probably why several A-listers agreed to star in the series. And perhaps, more importantly, they’re eager to stay on.
