American Horror Story Freak Show Spoilers on New Characters and Angela Bassett's Role

American Horror Story: Freak Show is still a little ways off, but fans of Ryan Murphy's twisted series are eagerly anticipating Season 4. As per usual, a new season means new characters for each of the wonderful actors and actresses on the show, and a new report has information on several of the roles.

The "Spoiler Chat" column at E! Online has a double dose of Freak Show news in its latest edition. Firstly, here is some information about new characters for the upcoming season:

"Freak Show is currently casting a few new roles, including that of the comedic Larry, an extremely, extremely tall man, described as a gentle giant, named Bobby, and Sammy, a role which will require prosthetics...and that's all we're revealing right now. (Hey, reporters gotta have their secrets!)"

If that weren't enough, Angela Bassett, who played Marie Laveau in American Horror Story: Coven, teases her role in Season 4:

"We're dying to discover more about Freak Show's terrifyingly twisted her characters. In fact, we caught up with star Angela Bassett to find out what's ahead for the fan favorite actress. 'It's going to be tough, tough, tough to surpass Marie Laveau, it really is. She was truly a special phenomenon,' the former voodoo queen gushed. 'All [Ryan] has told me is I'm not the bearded lady, but he said, 'Oh it's better! It's even better than that!' One hint that Bassett spilled to us about her next character? The powers-that-be at American Horror Story called and asked if the actress was afraid of heights! The actress revealed that she's up for absolutely anything except for one role: 'I hope I'm not the ticket taker!'"
