American Horror Stories Star Dylan McDermott Weighs In Ben Harmon's Fate
By Mia Tucker
Whether or not we've seen the last of the infamous Murder House remains to be seen, and McDermott isn't entirely convinced that the doctor's story is over, either. "It's been 10 years now. So I think something tells me we haven't seen the last of Ben," he told Looper. As he well knows, the possibilities are endless in the supernatural world of "American Horror Story."
"Oh, anytime I get to play Ben is always interesting. I mean, it's been 10 years. Can you believe it?" he went on. "When I walked back into that house again, I just couldn't believe that it was a decade. All the memories that just washed over me. And there I was again in the same house as the same character. So that was fun. And to step into Ben's shoes again, he was such a tortured guy, so I really wanted to heighten his torture, his smoking and his drinking, and he's just trying to find some kind of relief at the end of the day because it's always so torturous for him. So it was fun to go back and to revisit him because it's like an old friend."
So would he be willing to come back if Murphy gave the green light?
"If Ryan asks me, I always say 'yes,' doesn't matter what it is. So if it's 'American Horror Story: Condo,' I'm in." Seems like a sound policy to us.
"American Horror Stories" is streaming exclusively on Hulu
