Criss (Glee) is apparently in talks to join American Horror Story: Hotel, according to a new E! Online report. The publication revealed that Criss would play Justin, "a Silver Lake hipster who heads to the hotel on Halloween with his equally hip girlfriend to escape pesky trick-or-treaters."
But when the pair end up ordering too much room service, Iris (Kathy Bates), the hotel owner, seeks revenge.

FX has not officially confirmed Criss' casting.
The cast of American Horror Story: Hotel continues to grow larger as filming begins. Confirmed stars for season 5 of the horror anthology series include Bates, Lady Gaga, Sarah Paulson, Angela Bassett, Evan Peters, Finn Wittrock, Matt Bomer, Wes Bentley, Cheyenne Jackson, Chloë Sevigny, Max Greenfield, Naomi Campbell, Emma Roberts, Lily Rabe and Denis O'Hare.
While some character names are known, such as Paulson's Hypodermic Sally, Peters' Mr. March, Bassett's Ramona and Bomer's Donovan, very little else is known about the plot of American Horror Story: Hotel.
Gaga's role in particular has been a mystery since she was announced as joining the show in late February. Bomer and Wittrock's characters will apparently be in a love triangle with her character, and she is said to be on the evil side, but not much else is known.
American Horror Story: Hotel premieres in October on FX.
