Wes Bentley to star in 'American Horror Story: Hotel'

Los Angeles: Actor Wes Bentley will be a series regular on "American Horror Story: Hotel".

The announcement was made on Twitter by show co-creator Ryan Murphy, who said he was "thrilled" by the addition.

Bentley previously recurred in three episodes of "Freak Show" as Edward Mordrake.

The 36-year-old "Interstellar" actor joins Matt Bomer, Cheyenne Jackson and Lady Gaga on the upcoming season.

However, Jessica Lange - who has appeared in all four previous outings of "American Horror Story" - confirmed at PaleyFest that she is "done" with the horror series and will not be returning. "We've had a great run here," Lange said.

"American Horror Story: Hotel" is expected to premiere around Halloween with 13 all-new episodes. The FX series has won eight Emmy Awards and one Golden Globe Award over the past four years.
