The casting process for American Horror Story Season 2 has almost wrapped up, with Chloe Sevigny, James Cromwell, Lizzie Brocheré and Adam Levine among the new faces we'll see. A new report reveals the last major actor that should be joining the cast.
Joseph Fiennes (pictured below) is probably best known for his role in Shakespeare in Love, but has also appeared in Camelot, FlashForward, Enemy at the Gates, Luther and Elizabeth. According to EW, he is in negotiations to play the head of the institution for the criminally insane where Jessica Lange works. This will be a regular role in season 2, where he is said to be "tortured" and the "object of her [Lange's] attraction".
We should learn much more between now and the premiere of American Horror Story Season 2 in October, but plot details have been mostly kept under wraps. Shooting takes place this summer, with Season 1 actors Jessica Lange, Zachary Quinto, Sarah Paulson, Even Peters, and Lily Rabe returning as new characters.
