The only time Ryan Murphy casts unknown actors is if they’re young and really hot

Otherwise he casts Nepo babies or gets acclaimed stars (somehow) whose careers are not as hot as they once were to star in his mostly shitty shows. Or aged actors/actresses. Or stunt castings.

The only time he gets new actors to star is if they’re young and really hot. Especially the males. And they don’t even have to be good at acting. They just need to be young and desperate for a job. Hunter McVey is the perfect example of this.

This can be a good thing but also bad depending on his intentions.

Hunter made the jump from baiting chaste Instathot to network television in record time.

Thanks to Ryan Murphy r1

Charlie Hunnam is hot but did Sons and a few movies. He probably had begun to age out of roles before Monster as I'm not sure he's done anything recent.

Side note- If i ran into Hunnam's Gein I'd be a lampshade the next day.

Charlie Hunnam fucked up big time turning down 50 Shades or Gray.

by Anonymousreply 4October 10, 2025 7:41 PM

I'm fine with it. His shows would be far less tolerable if they didn't have male eye candy.

by Anonymousreply 5October 10, 2025 7:48 PM

Charlie Hunnam is clearly not one of the “young men desperate for work”…. R3 use your brain.

by Anonymousreply 6October 10, 2025 7:51 PM

Ryan Murphy doesn’t cast and has next to nothing to do with his shows. He slaps his name on them. The actors never see him.

by Anonymousreply 7October 10, 2025 8:25 PM

r3, I think you're conflating Gein with Dahmer.

by Anonymousreply 8October 10, 2025 8:28 PM

R7 that’s highly inaccurate. HIGHLY inaccurate

R9, take it up with Kathy Bates and others who said the same thing.

Murphy has 20 projects going on at the same time. Give me a break.

R10 again. You’re lying. Enough.

Always fucking lying on the internet instead of applying for college or a job. Wanting to rub shoulders with educated and had working gay men while living off people like a loser.

I wasn't aware of Nashville the tv series until now. But then it only started this month.

by Anonymousreply 17October 10, 2025 9:44 PM

Yeah, Nashville is the one that just started.

Chris O’Donnell is the lead of this one.

So OP wants more old ugly casting?

What's the problem, OP? We want young and really hot guys in our trashy fun Ryan Murphy series.

by Anonymousreply 20October 10, 2025 10:20 PM

This guy supposedly has a following so it's a business casting too.

R21 it’s because of what he looks like. If he wasn’t hot and had more followers than he does (he has 557k followers, not even close to 1 mil yet) he still wouldn’t get cast outside of a possible guest role in 1 episode.

by Anonymousreply 23October 10, 2025 10:29 PM

Same reason talentless pretty boy Michael Provost was cast on this same show.

He hasn’t done much of anything since that Netflix show Insatiable was canceled.

Ryan Murphy vs Tyler Perry - which one has scored the most struggling actor casting couch dick?

by Anonymousreply 25October 10, 2025 10:33 PM

R25 glad you mentioned Perry, because both Murphy and Perry are the equivalent of one another. Same person in different font

by Anonymousreply 26October 10, 2025 10:35 PM

That is mostly correct Op, but as casting goes it does not seem a bad idea in general and has worked for him and for some of the actors (both old and new). The problem is, as pointed out often, he can’t generally sustain one show throughout , mostly due to writing/plot. He launches one, subcontracts and starts another, I haven’t finished one of his shows in a long time (even with the eye candy).

The one abysmal thing he did re casting, was Hollywood. Maybe it was because of the pandemic but they were mostly atrocious.

by Anonymousreply 27October 10, 2025 10:51 PM

I don't think that's fair to Murphy, r26. For all his faults, his shows sometimes have glamour and/or sex appeal. Tyler Perry makes cheap movies that cater to the lowest common denominator. He has zero taste.

by Anonymousreply 28October 10, 2025 10:53 PM

We aren’t speaking of the quality of their shows. We are speaking about them casting hot men desperate for work in their shows.

Perry shows have a lot of attractive black men while Murphy shows have a lot of attractive white men.

As stated, same person/people, different fonts.

by Anonymousreply 29October 10, 2025 10:57 PM

What the fuck. That Instagram thot Hunter McVey made it to broadcast TV? When did that happen? He was just selling his hairy cheeks on Onlyfans! I know that thirsty perpetual five o’clock shadow having harlot is trying to scrub everything from the internet now.

by Anonymousreply 30October 10, 2025 11:03 PM

Nope, r29. Murphy is way more shameless when it comes to casting actors purely for their looks. Perry casts men who are Lifetime Original Movie attractive while Murphy chooses shockingly hot men who look like models or porn stars, some of whom can't act.

Aside from being gay, those two men have nothing in common.

by Anonymousreply 31October 10, 2025 11:06 PM

Shockingly hot

What did he show on OnlyFans? Cock?

[quote]So OP wants more old ugly casting?

Why not cast actors based on their acting ability? Why be enslaved to the halo effect? Why bankroll the vain fantasies of scores of vapid, pretty-boy mannequins made for OnlyFans, not television?

by Anonymousreply 34October 11, 2025 12:27 AM

R31 that’s a stupid comment. They both cast hot men who can barely act. And none of Murphy’s men look like porn stars as most porn stars have ugly faces. Very few have model looks.

by Anonymousreply 35October 11, 2025 12:38 AM

R33 no.

Who’s gay? Ryan might be but certainly not Perry.

The pic suggests he is playing a stripper so no acting required

Murphy is a MeToo timebomb. When the dam breaks, it’s going to be a flood.

Does anyone actually consider Evan Peters "a shockingly hot man who looks like a model"? I thought he got cast as Dahmer cause he's got the eyes of a murderer.

by Anonymousreply 41October 11, 2025 2:56 AM

I want to correct OP because he is wrong. And stupid.

Hunter McVey is not an unknown actor.

Hunter McVey is not an actor.

Hunter McVey has never acted. He has no credits. He has a navel gazing podcast called the Wholesome Degenerate where he talks about himself for hours. Hunter is an aspiring influencer who had booked some insignificant modeling campaigns (Fruit of the Loom.) He is also an online sex worker.

Hunter was likely cast by Murphy after Murphy came across McVey’s OnlyFans page and liked what he saw. This is a BIG red flag. It would be one thing if Murphy had cast McVey for a one-off guest spot. But he gave him a series regular role. A complete nonactor.

Even the dowager empress of the casting couch, Charlotte Kirk, at least was pursuing acting as a career, took acting classes and had credits.

This could seriously be Murphy’s downfall if McVey decides to talk. One of the caveats of the casting couch is that it only works if the castee wants a career in show business and adheres to industry discretion. McVey doesn’t want to work in Hollywood playing other people; he wants to be famous for being himself. He has everything to gain by unzipping his lips.
