The haunted house at the center of Ryan Murphy’s new FX series American Horror Story just got a little more crowded. Deadline reports that Zachary Quinto has signed on to a pivotal multi-episode arc; he’ll play a gay man who formerly owned the mansion that Connie Britton’s family has moved into. Deadline claims that Quinto and Britton will become friends, which is a little bit weird because we’re almost positive that in the show’s pilot, you find out right away that Quinto’s character perished months before in a murder-suicide, but hey: Maybe he’s a really fun ghost?
