Why Was Denis O'Hare Absent From American Horror Story?

Luckily for fans of O'Hare, the actor returns to the horror franchise once again in Season 10, called "American Horror Story: Double Feature," as Holden Vaughn, a member of the Provincetown City Council and a famous interior designer. When asked in an interview with Digital Spy if he made a conscious decision to take a break from "American Horror Story" between "Hotel" and "Double Feature," O'Hare replied, "No. It's the mind of Ryan Murphy. God knows how he does it ... I think he gets inspired by certain people, and runs with them for a while, and then I think his attention turns to somebody else, for whatever reason. So I was available, but I was suddenly not in the orbit anymore."

He added, "That being said, I love working on 'American Horror Story.' I also love working on the other things I've gotten to do. And I'm excited to be back. I guess the lesson is: who knows how long I'm back for? I don't know if this will turn into something else. It doesn't matter." Judging by these comments, it seems like O'Hare thoroughly enjoys working in "American Horror Story," though whether or not he appears in future seasons of the show is dependent entirely on the creators. This means that the reason O'Hare is not seen in three consecutive seasons is simply because Murphy and Falchuk didn't have a role in mind for the actor. Still, it's great to see the "American Horror Story" alum return again to the series in Season 10, and one can only hope that he will continue to do so.
