The saying “stick to what you know” is something many people in Hollywood internalize, because once an actor, writer, or director has made it big with a certain work, they feel as if that is what they are (and will be) the best at. Think about it; how many directors only take on action movies, how many actors only star in romantic comedies, and how many writers stick to creating funny and humorous scripts? It’s not uncommon for people to get comfortable within a certain genre or medium and just stay there. However, Ryan Murphy, the man who created the dark and thrilling FX anthology series, American Horror Story, is not someone who likes to stay inside a bubble. In fact, Murphy has stretched his creative range so far that fans may have forgotten just where the creative genius got his start.
