American Horror Story: Freak Show is een heerlijke en voor al erg zieke show. Daar in schittert de Amerikaanse acteur Denis O'Hare in als een creepy mofo die mensen van het circus vermoord en verkoopt. Hij heeft nu een interview gegeven aan de website Collider en daar zei hij het volgende:

Having played three different characters on American Horror Story, what is one thing that they all have in common, and what is one way that they're most different?

O'HARE: That's interesting. I do feel like all the characters are always yearning for something. It seems obvious to me that they're all yearning for some way of transcending their life into something bigger. It was most obvious in the case of Larry, who was wanting to escape the hell that he was bound in by his actions, and by the consequences of his actions, with his wife and kids being burned up in a fire. What Larry wanted was release. I felt like Spalding was the same way. I joked with Ryan and said, "I think Spalding's ultimate dream is to become a doll," before we got to the end. I thought, "Wouldn't it be cool if, at the end, we saw Spalding on the shelf and he finally had achieved his dream?" For Stanley, oddly enough, we have those glimpses of him at the morbidity museum while they're doing a toast, and he's assuming that he's going to be fêted and called out for recognition. What Stanley wants is to be respected. He wants to be accepted into larger culture. I think that has to do with a lot of the characters that I've played. They're yearning for some sort of transcendence. They want to arrive somewhere, at a place of peace or recognition. I think that's really cool.

And they all have very different personalities that I still love. I especially love Spalding because he's the most unlike me. Larry is probably the closest to my personality, scarily enough. I thought Larry was actually the sweetest of them all, in a strange way. He was a guy who was just buffeted around by the world, and he reduced himself to this cartoon. Spalding is actually not that sweet. There's a lot going on beyond that head that was not admirable. That being said, I do believe that he had an interesting serenity, and that was very different than Larry's frenetic energy. Stanley's the most confident. He's the most on top of his game. He's the most aggressive, shooting forward, which I really love. He really is the instigator. He's the engine of the season because what he's doing is setting everything into motion, with his attempts to co-opt, murder, corral, change and weave this spell around different people. He is the billiard ball that scatters the other balls. And I think it's a fantastic energy to have.
