Star of the hit television show, "Glee," Darren Criss is currently in talks with Fox to join the cast of "American Horror Story: Hotel."
The "Glee" star is reportedly going to be playing a hipster teenager who is staying at the hotel in Silver Lake with his also hipster girlfriend to escape the Halloween trick or treaters. According to E Online, the name of the character will be Justin and apparently, not so nice things are in store for him and his girlfriend.
The two hipsters are reportedly going to anger hotel owner and manager Kathy Bates by ordering room service with one too many requests attached to them. Comicbook.com says that Bates' character is going to make life for Justin and his girlfriend a "living hell."
Criss joins an already star studded cast for "American Horror Story: Hotel." Already confirmed for this season is pop sensation Lady Gaga, series veteran Sarah Paulson as well as acclaimed actress Angela Basset, with supposedly more guest stars to follow.
What is known so far for the story of the newest "American Horror" story is that most of the guest starts will be evil or have their own bad character personality. Paulson is returning so that her character will receive a proper on-screen death on "American Horror Story;" and Lady Gaga's character will have something to do with fashion. Information on the Lady Gaga character has been mysteriously thin considering the pop diva was confirmed as early as last February .
The role for the "Glee" star will be a recurring one and the first episode he is set to star in will air around Halloween. Criss gained fame while playing Blaine Anderson on the ultra popular show "Glee." While the character he played was gay, Criss has come forward as a straight male who was inadvertently raised by the gay community in an interview with Today. His character on "Glee" was the first love interest of Kurt Hummel and eventual husband by the end of the series.
While Criss hasn't officially signed anything with Fox to join the cast, the reports that his story is already written show signs that the "Glee" star will be joing the group very soon. If Criss does join the cast, he will reunite with "Glee" producer Ryan Murphy. The two worked together in "Glee" for over four seasons.
The newest season of "American Horror Story" will premier this October on the FX Channel.
