"AHS: Hotel" will begin filming next month! Cast member Finn Wittrock talks about murder scenes in "AHS: Freak Show" and previous star Jessica Lange reveals she might return for small appearances in season 5!
Finn Wittrock, the actor who portrayed Dandy Mott in "AHS: Freak Show" shared details about his stint as the psychotic murderer in the previous "American Horror Story" season. In an interview with TheWrap, he said, "the last episode was the toughest, in general," he was challenged both physically and emotionally. The act of killing the other characters was emotionally hard for him, especially since he "knows and loves" those people.
Wittrock, who is an official cast member of "AHS: Hotel", shared details on how physically challenging the last episode of "AHS: Freak Show" was "because I had to drown in this box.. they had to make me look like I was drowning because I couldn't actually be in the tank with the water filled." He added, "And I'm floating there in the air and it's 3AM the last day of shooting."
Aside from his toughest episode, Wittrock also shared that co-star, Sarah Paulson, who is also an "AHS: Hotel" cast member, deserves an Emmy. The "American Horror Story" actor goes on by saying that "I think Sarah Paulson's challenge was greater than anybody's, having to be two people at once (the conjoined Bette and Dot)...It literally takes three times as long to film those scenes than any other scenes, and to be able to do that and maintain two separate characters is pretty extraordinary."
Meanwhile, veteran "American Horror Story" cast member Jessica Lange, who won't be part of "AHS: Hotel," shared a few key details about her possible short appearance come season 5. Talking to the same media, the actress shared that "As on-edge or neurasthenic as they [the characters she portrayed] appear to be, they have a spine of steel. It's exactly the kind of complexity in a character that I love."
The "American Horror Story" star teased about returning as a guest cast in "AHS: Hotel" and said, "Who knows? If Ryan came to me and said, 'Would you want to do a small character for a couple episodes?' I would absolutely say yes if I liked it. This was a great collaboration, so I would love to keep working with him."
