Finn Wittrock dishes on AMERICAN HORROR STORY!

FX's hit horror anthology series AMERICAN HORROR STORY: FREAK SHOW features a new breakout star this season thanks to the charismatic turn by Broadway headliner and HBO's THE NORMAL HEART featured player Finn Wittrock in the role of spoiled socialite Dandy Mott and the actor discusses his role on the popular show as part of a new interview.

Reflecting on the starry cast of FREAK SHOW, Wittrock opines, "It's sort of intimidating at first. Before you get here you're like -- first of all, they're all such LEGENDS in their own right, and they've also been together for three years. But I was very welcomed. They brought me here with open arms. There was no hazing ritual."

Elaborating, Wittrock shares, "From the beginning, I've honestly felt like the writing has been very inspired, and especially for Dandy. Every week I've been given a new spectrum of colors to reveal about myself and to explore. And so, I've never felt - which I think is a danger of doing TV in general -- stuck in a pattern. I've never felt stagnant. I've always felt like I've been challenged and I've been pushing the boundaries of the preconception that I've made of the character up to that point."

Commenting on whether he has had any conversations about Season Five, Wittrock relays, "There has honestly been no conversation about it. I've just been trying to make it through this. If I do something else, the great thing about the show is I can do something completely and utterly different, which is what I want to do if I did it again. There's a bunch of rumors about what it's going to be, and then that rumor's dispelled. Whatever that idea was, that's not the idea any more. We won't really know until whenever... I'd be open to the idea, for sure."
