According to Project Casting and their sources, the American Horror Story season 4: Freak Show will be introducing new faces. There’s a casting call for new, male Carnival workers and it was revealed that filming will start in mid-July.
Their official casting call reads like this: “American Horror Story: Freak Show Casting Call. Filming will take place in New Orleans and the surrounding areas. Filming will start mid July 2014 through the end of December 2014. We are looking for men (all walks of life) to play Carnival workers (must be over 18). Think about the traveling circus or those old time sideshows.
Below is a brief description of the three new roles being cast:
– Larry, who is described as “comedic.”
– Bobby, an “extremely, extremely tall man” who is also said to be a “gentle giant.”
– Sammy, a mysterious role that requires the actor to use prosthetics.
The casting news for American Horror Story: Freak Show comes a few days after AHS veteran Sarah Paulson revealed that she will be playing conjoined twins Bette and Dot. The actress took to Twitter to break the news, and while she didn’t dish any details about her dual role, she did post the first character photo.
Season 4 is scheduled to premier on October 15th, 2014 at 10pm on FX.
