As reported by TVLine, Aaron Tveit, known for his magnetic stage presence, took an unexpected turn with his character in 'American Horror Stories.'

One of the many allurements of this peculiar role was getting to work with Matt Bomer and longtime friend Gavin Creel. His off-screen camaraderie with Creel was cleverly utilized in a twist ending for a virtual performance, the details of which were shrouded in mystery until now. As Tveit reveals, "Everything was virtual, but our gag was that we ended up in the same frame… because we were bubbled together living in the same apartment complex while we were shooting this show."
While his journey into the dark realms of Patrick Bateman-like sociopathy might seem like a one-off, Tveit hints that his tryst with the 'American Horror Stories' universe might not be his last. He expresses his admiration for the collaborative atmosphere fostered by Ryan Murphy, likening it to a theatre troupe, creating unique projects together.
Aaron Tveit’s fearless leap from Broadway into the violent, unexpected world of 'American Horror Stories' is a testament to his acting prowess. His calculated transformation into a Patrick Bateman-esque character has not only captivated audiences but also allowed Tveit to showcase his range and versatility as an actor.
