‘Fantastic Four’ star Michael Chiklis Joins the Cast of 'American Horror Story'

The cast and makers of the FX's American Horror Story came back to the PaleyFest stage and presented sneak-peeks from "Coven" and footage of season 4, with another particular declaration that Michael Chiklis has been casted in season 4. He is coming back to FX 6 Years aftER TV show "The Shield" ended its run, and will play the role of a German ex-Pat running one of the final freak shows in the country.

According to seVeral reports, season 4 will be set in Jupiter, Fla., in 1950, starring Jessica Lange as Fiona Goode. Other cast members are Sarah Paulson as Lana Winters, Evan Peters as Kit Walker, Angela Bassett as Marie Laveau, Frances Conroy as Myrtle Snow AND Kathy Bates -- who were also seen on Friday's board. They will play performers that have been set free by Fiona Goode. Denis O'Hare and Emma Roberts will most likely also come back to the show that reboots itself each season with a totally different tale and plot, and frequently includes the same cast of previous seasons.

AHS team kept chuckling as they thought back about Coven and their New Orleans experience, but didn't give away enough plot details. Chiklis will be playing the father of Kit Walker and ex-husband of Fiona Goode. Producer Ryan Murphy told that all the actors on the PaleyFest stage would appear in upcoming season.

"My heart was pounding like it is right now. It is a Freak Show, oh man!" Chiklis said after his casting was confirmed. Murphy further said that he had long pursued Chiklis to play a special role in American Horror Story and mentioned that there will be some other new cast members for Freak Show as well. The entire fourth season has been projected to be filmed in New Orleans and Florida. 

Previously, Chiklis appeared in two TV shows, CBS' Action Crime drama "Vegas" and ABC's comedy drama "No Ordinary Family", but unfortunately both shows had to be called off after only 1 season. His 7-season appearance in crime thriller "The Shield" was much admired by audience, and he got 2 Emmy nominations for best actor and won one for his outstanding performance. He also grabbed a Golden Globe award and was nominated for 3 times. When we talk about his film career, his biggest credit he is known for is his role as Ben Grimm in Marvel's comic based film Fantastic Four.
