Matt Bomer to Join Lady Gaga for Season 5 of 'American Horror Story'
Just weeks after news emerged Lady Gaga would be appearing in the fifth season of "American Horror Story," it was announced Matt Bomer of "White Collar" will be joining her when the show premieres late this year.
"White Collar's" Matt Bomer will be joining Lady Gaga for a lead role the fifth season of 20th Century Fox TV and FX Channel's "American Horror Story." Late last month, it was learned the "Born This Way" performer had been cast for Season 5, titled "American Horror Story: Hotel," which will premiere October 2015.
According to Bomer, he still doesn't have the details of his role in the upcoming season, but is ready for whatever show creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk have planned for him. Lady Gaga, who signed on last month, has an undisclosed role, as well.
"I only got to dip my toes in the freaky-deaky nature," Bomer said in an interview with Buzzfeed. "I'm ready to go in the deep end, baby."
It will be Bomer's second appearance on the show after he played a male prostitute murder victim in a Season 4 episode, "Pink Cupcakes." Season 5 will mark Lady Gaga's first regular television role where she will be playing a character other than herself.
"30 Rock" actor Danny Baker, Cheyenne Jackson will also be joining Gaga and Bomer for the fifth Season of the horror franchise.
Filming for the 13-episode "AHS: Hotel" is set to begin late this summer in Los Angeles, bringing a change of scene from its previous New Orleans locations. The new season will also mark the first one without Oscar winner and veteran Hollywood actress Jessica Lange. Lange, who played four characters in all four seasons of "American Horror Story" will not be returning for the fifth season.
"AHS," which first ran in October 2011, was well received by critics and consistently garnered high ratings for FX.
