Wes Bentley will return to American Horror Story next season
As announced by Ryan Murphy on Twitter, The Hunger Games and Interstellar’s Wes Bentley will be joining Matt Bomer, Cheyenne Jackson, and Lady Gaga in the next season of American Horror Story—which will apparently be called Hotel, even though there’s nothing inherently spooky about that. Bentley joined the AHS family during its recent Freak Show season, in which he played a ghostly revenge monster named Edward Mordrake. Also, he had a face on the back of his head that said evil things, and it was his job to kill a freak if they performed on Halloween, but Mordrake himself wasn’t exactly a villain. To determine which freak should die, he would allow them to spend a few minutes explaining their backstory for the viewers at home, and then sometimes they’d get to live on as a member of his ghostly revenge crew. Basically, it didn’t make a whole lot of sense.
