Having literally gone from a big star to a little one the latest casting news for ‘American Horror Story: Freak Show’ sees the world’s shortest woman, Jyoti Amge, join the fourth season of the hit FX horror show. Born in India the 20 year old measures in at just over 2 feet tall. Although there’s no specific mention of the character that she’ll be playing we’re going to assume it’ll be someone short. Amge joins series newbies Michael Chiklis, Finn Wittrock, John Carroll Lynch, Wes Bently, and American singer Patti LaBelle. The show also sees the return of regular players Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, Frances Conroy, Kathy Bates, Emma Roberts and Denis O’Hare.
‘American Horror Story: Freak Show’ takes place in 1952 in Jupiter, Florida, and revolves around the last freak show in America. The show will premiere on FX this coming October.
