EXCLUSIVE: Denis O’Hare is set to co-star opposite Connie Britton in American Horror Story, Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk’s drama pilot for FX. Murphy is set to direct the pilot, from 20th Century Fox, which will shoot next month, after Murphy and Falchuk wrap production on Glee.
FX and the producers are keeping the premise of American Horror Story under wraps, but a breakdown for the pilot lists its main characters as Ben Harmon, a sensitive therapist, and Vivien Harmon (Britton), his gorgeous wife who is a force to be reckoned with in spite of her vulnerable demeanor. O’Hare will play Larry, also referred to as “Larry the burn guy”. It is unclear if the “burn” part is metaphorical or living up to the “horror” portion in the title of the show. Murphy and Falchuk are executive producing American Horror Story with Dante Di Loreto. The pilot is being eyed for a fall series launch on FX. O’Hare, who co-starred on HBO’s True Blood last season, has been recurring on CBS’ The Good Wife.

Murphy should cast himself in this one. Scary dude.
I don’t trust any show from a creator/exec producer who is already working on another show (Glee in their case). I’ll never forget how Nip/Tuck began to creatively decline once Murphy started doing movies and then Glee, leading to the finale, which was the worst series finale of any show I’d seen.
Joss Whedon worked on Buffy, Angel and Firefly at the same time and that didn’t affect the quality. David E Kelley ran Boston Public, The Practice and Ally McBeal at the same time too. JJ ABrams ran Alias at the same time that he ran Lost (For 1 season).
Abrams never actually ran any of those shows on a day-to-day basis. He supervised those shows but Jeff Pinkner was running ALIAS while Carlton Cuse/Damon Lindelof were running LOST beginning mid-way through season 1.
Actually Nip/Tuck started to decline because it sucked… Murphy was there the whole time.
I hope Denis returns to True Blood at some point, back to his usual self, considering he was probably the best thing about an okay season 3.
So now horror and supernatural stuff is trendy. The Walking Dead was great, but it isn’t anything better than what George Romero has been doing for decades.
>True Blood is great as a “R” rated Dark Shadows.
Lost devolved into a cliched finale, which could be best described as a mediocre rehash of a The Twilight Zone episode.
Will The Killing remind us ofTwin Peaks? I hope not. (But I guess that it has reminded me all ready.)
