In season one, we were rocked by the sadistic, ghoulish forces of a house with a history. During season two, we were shaken by the real demons within an insane asylum. Now we know that the third season of American Horror Story will transport us to New Orleans for some “evil glamour.”

In addition to regular cast members, there are also some high-profile additions.

Oscar-nominated actor James Cromwell was arrested today while protesting deadly brain experiments on cats at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. The animal-rights activist allegedly inturrupted a university board meeting, held up graphic photos depicting the scientific decapitation of a cat named Double Trouble and yelled, “Shame on UW for mutilating and killing cats!”

Ryan Murphy’s American Horror Story is getting an almost complete cast turnover for Season 2, and frankly, the cast is to die for.

Below we’re listing the amazing new cast, and giving a little background on each of their careers. This is exciting!
