It looks like Ryan Murphy is once again tapping Glee alum Darren Criss! The two-time Broadway.com Audience Choice Award winner is in negotiations to join FX’s American Horror Story: Hotel. According to E! online, the recent Hedwig headliner will check into the series in the Halloween episode, in a, wait for it, recurring role!
Criss would play Justin, a Silver Lake hipster, who attempts to avoid annoying trick or treaters at the establishment. But after Justin and his girlfriend prove high maintenance guests, Kathy Bates' character plays a trick on them they'll never forget.
Perhaps best known for playing Blaine on Murphy's Fox series Glee, Criss made his Great White Way debut in 2012 as J. Pierpont Finch in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, a role that earned him a Broadway.com Audience Choice Award for Favorite Replacement (he also picked up the same trophy this year for Hedwig). His additional film and TV credits include Girl Most Likely, Eastwick and Little White Lie. In 2010, he released his first EP of original music, titled Human. Criss has recently been filming new movie Smitten! in Italy, and can occasionally be found at Marie’s Crisis belting Disney standards with Tony winner Lea Salonga.
Im excited tbh! omg Matt was his older brother on glee!! they got chemistry yassss
but ya I gotta agree they are adding way to many ppl in the cast. sometimes having too many actors makes for a messy show tbh.
they should of kept the cast tight and minimal to concentrate on character development
