Excellent choice, Mr. Ryan Murphy. You certainly have a knack for snatching up the best talent from Broadway to star in your shows!
Besides Glee and American Horror Story, Murphy has a new comedy pilot going up for NBC called The New Normal about a gay couple and the surrogate who gives birth to their child. Ellen Barkin, who just won a Tony this past season for her debut in The Normal Heart, has just landed the role of the surrogate’s mother.
Somehow, we think that’s going to be a saucy, sassy role! Perfect for Ellen!
