Other actors might be very offended to discover they'd been cast in a new show via a post on someone else's social media, but Fern seems pretty copacetic about it. Yep, he learned that he'd be portraying park ranger Stan Vogel in "Feral," the next-to-final segment of "American Horror Stories," via a post by Ryan Murphy.
"I first heard about it on Instagram because Ryan announced that I was going to be in it. So, I was like, 'Wait! What? What am I doing? OK. Cool,'" Fern told Entertainment Weekly. "So, that was where I first heard about it. Then he got in touch while they were in production and asked me if I was available to come and do this episode, and I was only happy to oblige."
The actor, who finally got to play a character from his native Australia, seemed to enjoy the experience, despite the unusual circumstances behind his casting. "When Ryan rings, it's very hard to say no. And I love working in Ryan's world," he added.
