Why hasn't Ryan Murphy given BLANK something to do

Daye Funaway

Kate Nelligan

There are some actresses I would love to see him worth one. Number one being Kim Basinger.

His talent, if he has any.

Vivian Vance

Jacob Artist

Only David Lynch could do Sean Young justice, OP.

Sharon Stone

He did work with Sharon Stone on Ratched playing a Norma Desmond-esque rich weirdo, but either it wasn't written very well or Stone has completely forgotten how to act. I swear I saw her badmouth her experience on the show somewhere saying it wasn't a very good role. It's sad, too, because Murphy seems like he'd be one of the few who'd know what to do with her.

At this point, he's practically worked with everyone, hasn't he? He even got Meryl Streep and Nicole Kidman in that film version of The Prom. Who else could possibly be left on his bucket list? Maybe Rebecca De Mornay?

Brendad Ickson

Tara Reid. Christopher Atkins.

Geena Davis

R1

Miss Murphy would be petrified of Miss Dunaway.

He's a demanding cunt, but she'd out cunt him in a second, and he'd have to cope with her for the length of a shoot.

Daryl Hannah, Jennifer Tilly, Rossana Arquette, Goldie Hawn, Cher - Yes to any of those.

Shannen Doherty

Jennifer Jason Leigh

He should give the Wild Things mother-daughter duo of Denise Richards and Theresa Russell something

Mickey Rourke.

Vincent d'Onofrio.

Delta Burke.

Jerri Blank?

R16 here: oops. I guess he did do something with JJL--the ill-fated HBO pilot OPEN. That doesn't count, does it? I'd love to see her as a new witch in an AHS: Coven sequel.

Meg Ryan

Grace. Jones.

His brother Cillian.

Hart Bochner

Sheena Easton - in role where she can do a new music piece that features 80s inspired electro synth pop.

Annabella Sciorra

Jonathan Rhys Meyers

Rebecca De Mornay

Debra Winger

Pia Zadora

Spaz de la Huerta

Brendad Ickson can go fuck herself with her MAGA stick, R10. She needs a mental institution, not an acting gig.

Annie Potts

Delta Burke

Diane Lane

Trog

Cybill Shepherd

Traci Lords.

The obvious choice.

Armie Hammer.

Oh please. The scripts write themselves.

Kim Darby.

Scott Caan and Scott Eastwood. Have them nude in every episode. Or just call it "American Horror Story: Nudist Colony" and be done with it.

Jessica Harper.

Wasn’t Delta on Popular as Mary Cherry’s mama? Maybe there’s a reason.

R35 Annie's real busy on Young Sheldon.

Anjelica Huston

Elaine Stritch

Elaine is currently unavailable.

Beanie Fieldstein

Sarah Michelle Gellar

They were on the same episode of WWHL years ago and he talked about her doing AHS but it never happened.

R49, he did work with Beanie. She played Monica Lewinsky in Impeachment.

Demi Moore

For you, R52.

Michelle Pfeiffer. I know he's talked about wanting to work with her and I'm surprised he hasn't managed to make it happen yet.

Lens Dunhams sister the one that Lens molesteded

Kathy Griffin. Of course, her life could be a season of AHS in of itself. Her acting lacks realism and thus, probably not an option. But she could use a good project.

Danny Pintauro.

For you, R56.

Actually, Kathy Griffin is not a bad idea. I always thought she would make an interesting choice for many a project, even one of Woody's serious films. Not kidding. She has a strange intense quality, even now with the voice, that could work with the right script.

The right script and director can pull a lot of surprising things from the right performer.

Uma Thurman.

Lin Shaye

R46 that would be amazing.

[quote] [R49], he did work with Beanie. She played Monica Lewinsky in Impeachment.

Oh right. The second awful, shitty thing she's done in the last 12 months.

Supposedly Ryan has approached Anjelica Huston about AHS in the past. Along with Michelle Pfeiffer, Reese Witherspoon, and Cher.

Elinor Donahue

Rene Russo

Lisa Eichhorn

Natassja Kinski would be awesome.

Pia Z

Kim Richards

Mamie Van Doren

Ann Jillian

Eve Plumb

I'm surprised he wasn't worked with more of the cast of Popular. A couple of cast members popped up in Nip/Tuck, but the only one he seems to work with regularly is Leslie Grossman.

Heather Mattarazo

Shelley Duvall

Parker Posey

R75 fantastic suggestions. I would love to see them in a Murphy show.

Coming soon to FX: "Shelley Duvall: Sad Last Days"

Beanie Fieldsteins’s wife

Lynda Carter. Morgan Fairchild. Kay Lenz.

Heather Matarazzo would be perfect. She's a fun Twitter follow and she definitely wants to work more.

Porn actor Manuel Skye. He has a pleasant theatricality and flamboyancy without being de trop. Latin ethnics(?) but from Quebec. He seems to enjoy acting in what little chance he gets in a porn scene. Comfortable in his skin.

Meghan.

The universe meant for her to be a Dynasty vixen, but alas....she'll have to settle.

R82 Ooh la la!

Miss Faye Dunaway should be in his stable of actors. If he can put up with Patti Lupone, he can handle Miss Dunaway.

Loni Anderson

Jeff Stryker

SUSAN DEY

Margaret Avery

Marthe Keller

Maggie Cheung

Liv Ullmann

Thomas Jane

Kate Jackson

Margaret Cho

Michelle Phillips

It was actually just announced today that Shelley Duvall is returning to acting. Ryan should call her stat!

R91 is she playing the monster?

Margot Martindale

Caroline Aaron

Jim J. Bullock

R93 Margo had a role as the neighbor in the watcher

Alison Arngrim!

Kathleen Turner

Sigourney Weaver

Sally Field

JoBeth Williams

Mary Kay Place

David Pevsner

JonBenet Ramsey

R85 but could Faye handle all of the little homosexual boys Ryan Murphy would hire to work alongside with her?

Beverly D’Angelo. She’s always interesting and has apparently led “quite the life.”

Holly Hunter

Olivia de Havilland. He should have offered to write her into a show after she sued him.

Lauren Bacall was another lost opportunity.

Susan Lucci

Jeanane Garofalo and Parker Posey. Ideally the show takes place in the mid 90s.

Kyle Richards

Kylie Jenner

Kylie Minoque

Kyle Chandler

Rebecca DeMornay

For the younger set, someone like Froy or Andrew Matarazzo (still quite surprised he hasn't tapped that yet. Right up the typical RM production alley). And some of the old CW actors, like Matt Lanter or Annalynne McCord.

As for older legends - Angelica Houston (would have been perfect after Lange left. Or even during that earlier period), Michelle Pfeiffer.... and yeah, Faye would be incredible if he could handle her, and she was sane enough to work.

Diana Fucking Ross

JOSEPH BAENA

An old timer like Paula Prentiss might be fun to watch mingling in with the younger set.

Linda Evans could be good as an older socialite.

Martha Plimpton!!!

Dolly Parton

Lauren Lapkus-Odd looking comedy actress who could easily do well in some kind of comedy horror role.

Has he had Sigourney in anything yet?

Could he handle Debra Winger??

Marlee Maitland

Lee Grant

Rossy De Palma

R115 oh that would be really interesting. She has a charm but also a weirdness to her that would be perfect for a Murphy production.

Leslie Caron

Julie Andrews

Nina Simone

Terri Gibbs

NOT. Neil Patrick Harris!

I would say Teri Garr, but I fear she's too far gone. And at this point I don't want to see her as an AHS gorgon.

Susan Richardson

Sacheen Littlefeather

Wayland Flowers and Madame

Candy Bergen

Amy Irving, PJ Soles, Nancy Allen and Betty Buckley.

Isn't Amy Irving pretty much retired from acting?

Marta Plipton

Joey Pollari.

Totally offbeat choice: Dale Bozzio.

R134, that’s a good one. WHET him?

Who is Dale Bozo?

ELON MUSK

Elon would make viewers vomit.

^ Those nipples want to be tortured.

Famke Janssen from Nip/Tuck. He was even developing a show for her to star in at one point then nothing.

Love Famke, she deserves more roles.

R141 remember that bizarre incident involving a doll at famkes apartment? It was straight out of a Ryan Murphy show

Sally Fields

Nanette Fabbareass

Morey Amsterdam

Rose Marie

Marta Plipton

Tyla Banks
