In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Cody Fern, who plays Antichrist Michael Langdon in American Horror Story’s latest season “Apocalypse”, revealed that showrunner Ryan Murphy didn’t tell him all the details of his role when he cast him.
“Ryan Murphy told me that I’d be playing this character who would have very long, blonde hair and an affinity for capes.
The way that he described the character was as if he was the protagonist, and that Sarah Paulson’s character, who I now understand is really Venable and Cordelia, is the antagonist.”
He didn’t know that he would be the Antichrist until receiving the final draft of the script.
“I’m not looking at the world through the eyes of someone who is evil or malevolent, or who wants the world to end. I’m looking at it through the eyes of someone who is lost.
He wasn’t born with this idea that he has to end the world. He was born with a compulsion and now that compulsion has become personal.”
