American Horror Story Characters—Ranked!
Each year, the American Horror Story characters are dealt a new hand to play. They'll go from angel of death to campy witch and murderer to coked out model as AHS reboots for another chapter. But let's face it: some characters pop more than others. In honor of the AHS: Cult finale, we ranked each actor's characters from best to worst. Click through to find out each actor's best character now!
Adina Porter's No. 2. Lee Harris, AHS: Roanoke
Lee wasn't the most likable person, but she was the last one standing when all was said and done.
Chaz Bono's No. 2. Lot Polk, AHS: Roanoke
Bono didn't have a ton to do but look menacing as the reenactment's version of the cannibalistic Polk.
Chaz Bono's No. 1. Gary Longstreet, AHS: Cult
As Kai's most loyal servant, Gary never had too much to do, but he sure was willing to promote the cause no matter the cost. (Hint: His life.)
Lily Rabe's No. 4. Shelby Miller, AHS: Roanoke
She was an adulterer, a murderer, and a Yogi. But worst of all about Shelby? She was a whiner.
Lily Rabe's No. 3. Aileen Wuornos, AHS: Hotel
Yes, Rabe played real-life serial killer (and inspiration for the movie Monster) Aileen Wuornos in an over-the-top performance in Hotel for one episode. Eat your heart out, Charlize Theron!
Lily Rabe's No. 1. Misty Day, AHS: Coven
The shawls, the Stevie Nicks obsession...Misty was fun!
Lady Gaga's No. 2. Scathach (Reenactment), AHS: Roanoke
Not as much a character than a plot device, the fact that the most exciting thing about Scathach (the fact that she was the original Supreme in Coven) was revealed in a Ryan Murphy interview rather than onscreen isn't good.
Matt Bomer's No. 2. Andy, AHS: Freak Show
Sure Matt Bomer showed some skin, but his gay rent boy character was offed straight away. No development there.
Matt Bomer's No. 1. Donovan, AHS: Hotel
He's showing skin, his killer hair and an actual story arc? We're sold.
Cheyenne Jackson's No. 2. Will Drake, AHS: Hotel
Will was gay, but then he fell in love with the Countess? We love Gaga as much as everyone else, but that was wildly unbelievable—which is saying something, considering this franchise.
Cheynne Jackon's No. 1. Sidney Aaron James, AHS: Roanoke
Was Sidney a total sociopath? Sure. But was his unwavering devotion to keeping his reality show alive, blood moon and murderous ghosts, absolutely hysterical? You betcha.
Emma Roberts' No. 2. Maggie, AHS: Freak Show
A con artist who really didn't do much to endear herself to viewers, compared to Emma Roberts' Coven character, this is very easy to call.
Emma Roberts' No 1. Madison, AHS: Coven
The unapologetic attitude, the magic powers, the "Surprise, bitch" meme ... need we go on as to why Madison Montgomery is Roberts' tops AHS character?
Wes Bentley's No. 3. John Lowe, AHS: Hotel
Ugh, there was nothing redeeming for Wes Bentley to do with him.
Wes Bentley's No. 2. Dylan, AHS: Roanoke
Dylan might've been the most sensible person on Roanoke. Naturally, he only lasted an episode. But his calm use of his Army skills to at least try and get the remaining survivors to safety was admirable. RIP Dylan.
