It’s been a while since fans of The Walking Dead may have seen John Carroll Lynch on their television sets. The actor did a fantastic job as Morgan’s mentor Eastman in season 6 episode 4 of the show, but now he’s returning to another hit TV show.
Scheduled to premiere on September 5, 2017, Lynch will be among the star-studded cast of the popular FX series American Horror Story where he will reprise his role of Twisty the Clown to bring fear to the world.
