According to IMDb, Matt Bomer appears in 13 episodes of "American Horror Story" between Season 4 and Season 5. He also appears in two episodes of the spin-off, "American Horror Stories." In Season 4, Bomer plays the minor role of Andy, a prostitute involved with both Dandy (Finn Wittrock) and Dell (Michael Chiklis). Although Dell honestly has feelings for Andy, Andy is soon caught in the snare of Dandy, which results in a brutal scene highlighting Dandy's descent into a ruthless and sadistic killer. However, Bomer's acting skill must have greatly impacted the "American Horror Story" creators because he has a much more critical role in "American Horror Story: Hotel."
In Season 5's "Hotel," Bomer plays Donovan, one of the lovers of the Countess (Lady Gaga) and son of hotel worker Iris (Kathy Bates). It is immediately established in this season that Donovan has a reasonably antagonistic relationship with his mother and has been infected with the same virus as the Countess, which resembles vampirism. This means that Donovan craves blood and engages in a hedonistic lifestyle with the Countess that soon comes crashing down when she decides to take additional lovers. Although Bomer only appears in these two seasons of "American Horror Story," he is a massive fan of the series and has a specific theme he would like to see.
