More Actors Join the Cast of American Horror Story: Asylum

In addition to a number of actors returning from the first season, more than a dozen new actors have joined the cast of American Horror Story: Asylum. Although the new season is already filming, we have news of a few late casting additions, which include someone that Breaking Bad fans will instantly recognize.

Mark Margolis (Breaking Bad, pictured below) will join the cast in a recurring role, according to EW. Unfortunately, like many of the roles, he will remain a mystery until the show airs. However, we know that his character will be named Sam Goodwin and have some information on two guest roles. Amy Farrington (Hung) will be playing a "worried mother", while David Chisum (One Life to Live) has been cast as a "loving husband".
