The upcoming fourth season of FX’s “American Horror Story,” subtitled “Freak Show,” is looking to be the most deliciously bizarre outing for the show yet, with Sarah Paulson recently revealing she’ll be playing a two-headed character.

Today more details have arrived about the sideshow character another attached star will be playing so read on for the latest!

Per TVLine, show creator Ryan Murphy recently revealed at the Critic’s Choice Awards that Michael Chiklis will be playing a strongman on “American Horror Story: Freak Show.”

His character is married to Angela Bassett’s character. “He has scenes with Angela and Jessica Lange and [his onscreen ex] Kathy Bates,” said Murphy. “I love the part because it’s really written to be quite vulnerable, which is something I think Michael does so well – the strong man who’s vulnerable. I’m very excited to see [him] tussle with all those great ladies. And he’s really up for it, really excited about it.”

Jessica Lange, Denis O’Hare, Emma Roberts, Gabourey Sidibe, Jamie Brewer, Evan Peters, Kathy Bates, Sarah Paulson, Angela Bassett, Frances Conroy, and Michael Chiklis will star.
