Another actor has checked into "American Horror Story: Hotel". Wes Bentley has been added to the cast for the fifth installment of FX's anthology series as a series regular, joining Matthew Bomer, Cheyenne Jackson and Lady GaGa who were previously confirmed to star.
Series co-creator Ryan Murphy broke the news of Bentley's involvement on Twitter. "Thrilled to announce Wes Bentley will be a series regular on AHS: Hotel," he wrote on Tuesday, March 17 without mentioning Bentley's role. Other characters on "Hotel" are also still kept under wraps.
Bentley, whose movie roles include Ricky Fitts in "American Beauty" (1999) and Seneca Crane in "The Hunger Games" (2012), starred in the fourth installment of "AHS". He appeared in 3 episodes of "Freak Show" as Edward Mordrake.
The 13-episode new season of "AHS" is expected to debut in October. Jessica Lange who starred in all first four installments of "AHS" recently confirmed that she wouldn't return for the upcoming season. "Yes, I'm done," she said at the Paleyfest last Sunday, "We've had a great run here. I have absolutely loved doing these four characters that I've had the opportunity to play."
