“We were really inspired by the ideal of this hotel surveillance video that showed girl getting into elevator in haunted hotel and who was never seen again”, said Murphy when asked about his inspiration for the new anthology. (He’s no doubt referring to the mysterious death of Elisa Lam).

Falchuk said that O’Hare’s character falls into the LGBT arena, too.
– Sarah Paulson plays a “vile” Sally, who is sexy, but a drug addict. She has some pretty vile tendencies, but is also described as “quite sexy”. And I’m glad that she has Matt. Because she’s so great and they’ve all socialized… I’m excited about that and I think that’s why Gaga was excited about it; it’s not something that she’s ever done before.
Angela Bassett – Ramona Royale – an actress who doesn’t live in the hotel but she visits there quite frequently and gets mixed up with more than a few of the guests. The character has a budding and dark relationship with Bentley’s character.
The cast became a little more developed as the stars in attendance offered a bit more information about their characters’ involvement.
One of these relationships is with Lady Gaga’s character, who’s bisexual.
“He has very deeply, complicated relationships with women, particularly his mother, who is played by Kathy Bates”.
In fact, Cheyenne Jackson – a “Glee” alumnus who recently starred in a movie that was filmed entirely in San Antonio – will share a female lead in the series with another cast member with Texas ties, Matt Bomer, who grew up near Houston. “His character Tristan is a model and has worked for me before, so…” “I felt I got that out of my system. I hope”.
You will see Bomer as Donovan, friend of Gaga and Bates, who has “very interesting relationships with the lady folk in his life”. And we have a lot to do together. “I’m glad that she has Matt because he’s so great and they’ve all socialized”.
Chloe Sevigny: Alex Lowell.
E! Online revealed that Criss is said to be taking on the recurring character Justin, a hipster from Silver Lake, who retreats to the eerie hotel on October.
Cheyenne Jackson portrays Drake, “a fashion icon…” “I shaved my head for the part – and other body parts”. Liz will work in the hotel’s Blue Parrot Lounge bar.
The “Twin Peaks” actress has also confirmed the gig via a post on Facebook, saying, “Shhh u guys were supposed to keep a secret lol. It doesn’t feel as special – in a good way”.

Sarah Paulson returns to the series, this time playing an addict named Sally who lives at the hotel. I should just stop talking and be quiet. “So he’s really committed to it, and he looks awesome”. According to creator Ryan Murphy, she will be a “wealthy social doyenne. I was proud of him”.
