'American Horror Story' Season 4 Spoilers: Michael Chiklis Joins 'Freak Show'
"American Horror Story: Freak Show" fans can expect yet another new actor on the fourth season of the horror series this fall.
Michael Chiklis is making his "AHS" debut alongside returning actors on the series that include Emma Thompson, Jessica Lange, and Sarah Paulson, among others. According "AHS" executive producer Ryan Murphy, Chiklis will portray "a strong man who's married to [Angela Bassett's character]," TVLine reported.
"He has scenes with Angela and Jessica Lange and (onscreen ex) Kathy Bates," Murphy added. "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."

The addition of Chiklis arrives just weeks after Paulson announced her character on "AHS: Freak Show." The actress revealed a major spoiler when introducing her terrifying, two-headed character on Twitter earlier this month.
"So excited to be playing Bette AND Dot this season," Paulson wrote on Twitter on Thursday, June 12. "Two heads are better than one! #AHSFREAKSHOW"
Along with her post, Paulson added a photo revealing her shocking two-headed character. The actress wore a pink sweater while digital retouching allowed what appeared to be two identical heads and necks protruding from the same chest.
Meanwhile, season four will be veteran actress Jessica Lange's last season with "AHS," but the new season will also see the return of Evan Peters, Frances Conroy, Denis O'Hare and Taissa Farmiga, among many more.
"I am coming to the end of acting," Lange told the Los Angeles Times recently.
"I want to go out with a bang... or should I say, a scare," she added.
