Being an anthology series, many actors come and go across the seasons in both new and/or returning roles.
This is closely followed by Frances Conroy and Denis O'Hare who have both appeared in 8 seasons each.
Naomi Grossman's character, Pepper, from Asylum was the first to reappear in a different season, Freak Show.
The only other character to do so is Billie Dean Howard, portrayed by Sarah Paulson, who appeared in Murder House, Hotel, and Apocalypse.
The series has cast many pop culture celebrities, TV personalities, singers, supermodels, or sports stars including Adam Levine, Stevie Nicks, Patti LaBelle, Lady Gaga, Naomi Campbell, Trixie Mattel, Rick Springfield, Gus Kenworthy, Eureka, Kaia Gerber, and Kim Kardashian.
