The cast of “American Horror Story” season 12 just keeps growing! In a recent interview with People, Zachary Quinto not only revealed he’ll make a cameo appearance in the upcoming season, but he also said that he was “really impressed” by Kim Kardashian’s acting skills.
“I did a cameo on this season of ‘American Horror Story,’ and I got to meet her,” Quinto said of Kardashian at the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of his upcoming film, “He Went That Way.” “She was so lovely and warm, and really, I don’t think she needs my advice.”
He continued, “She seemed really in her element, and I was really impressed by her spirit and her openness. I really look forward to seeing this season because I think she’s gonna do a wonderful job.”
In April, it was announced that Kardashian had officially joined the anthology series alongside Emma Roberts. Kardashian unveiled the news on her Instagram on April 10, sharing a video set to eerie music. The clip reveals she and Roberts are starring in a new chapter of the anthology series called “Delicate.” Roberts shared the same video on her Instagram along with the caption, “This summer…Kim and I are DELICATE.”
Variety confirmed the news shortly after Kardashian posted the video, with a rep for “American Horror Story” creator Ryan Murphy telling the outlet that the star’s character was designed especially for her. Reps for FX and Kardashian did not respond to POPSUGAR’s request for comment.
Speaking to Variety at the 2023 Met Gala, Kardashian gave an update on filming, saying, “We start shooting my stuff at the end of this month. But production has already started and I’m so excited.” Though she didn’t reveal much about her role, she did add, “It’s really fun to step outside of your comfort zone and try something new and grow. I’m so excited for the experience.” Kardashian also revealed she’s taking acting lessons to prepare, saying, “It’s a challenge. I like to challenge myself.”
Kardashian’s “American Horror Story” debut will be her largest acting role to date. She’s had smaller roles in 2008’s “Disaster Movie,” 2009’s “CSI: NY,” and 2012’s “Drop Dead Diva,” among others, and in the years since, she’s made a number of high-profile cameos and hosted an episode of “Saturday Night Live.” She’s also continued to work on her business and reality-TV projects, including the third season of “The Kardashians.”
