Tony Winner Denis O’Hare Is Packing 13 Inches of Freaky on American Horror Story

Thirteen just might be Denis O’Hare’s new lucky number. The Tony winner has returned to American Horror Story for Freak Show as Stanley, a con artist in cahoots with Maggie Esmerelda, played by fellow AHS alum Emma Roberts. We now have some, uh, huge, news about his character, who is set to appear on the October 22 episode.

“He plays a guy with a 13-inch penis and that’s all I’m going to say about that,” AHS creator Ryan Murphy revealed to Entertainment Weekly. "Denis has never been happier.” 

On Broadway, O’Hare has been surrounded by nudity, but he hasn’t taken it off himself. He starred as Ernst Ludwig in the 1998 revival of Cabaret amidst a sea of skimpy-outfitted Kit Kat boys and girls. In 2003, he took home a Tony Award for Take Me Out, which famously featured several showering baseball players.

So, is O’Hare going to whip it out on cable TV anytime soon? “I’ll never tell,” teased Murphy. “I will say that we did push the broadcast standards with that. But I was happy to give America that gift.”

Catch O’Hare and his “gift” on Wednesday nights on FX, and look out for several other Broadway vets, including Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Kathy Bates, Frances Conroy and Finn Wittrock.
