Actor Finn Wittrock, who played the role of Dandy in the fourth season of 'American Horror Story', has revealed that he was excited to hear that Ryan Murphy had cast Lady Gaga in the highly anticipated fifth series.

Wittrock (pictured left) told Variety magazine that 'American Horror Story: Hotel' is set to be an amazing season and that Gaga is the 'perfect' fit for the programme: "I was like, 'Perfect!' Ryan (Murphy) always has a way of outdoing himself. It's hard to keep surprising people when each season is so surprising. 

"He very wisely makes a big awesome casting choice to get people intrigued. This was the epitome of that. The thing about (Lady Gaga), with her great theatricality and the gratuity of her own image, it actually makes a lot of sense for her to be on this show."

He added: "The show is heightened and gothic and that's sort of what she is. It's a good omen for the way the season will turn out."
