"American Horror Story" is turning its spotlight on some of the minor characters in Season 4. Up until now, the focus has been on the show's leading ladies and gents (Sarah Paulson, John Carroll Lynch, Jessica Lange etc.) but the show released two fascinating videos featuring Mat Fraser (Paul the Illustrated Seal) and Rose Siggins (Legless Suzy).
According to MTV, the segment called "Extra-Ordinary Artists" was released on Oct. 2 and gives "American Horror Story" fans a chance to see "a unique life in a unique body."
"People stare at something they don't understand," Siggins says in the video. "Because we're different doesn't mean we're entirely different. We're like you, we just come in different forms. I kinda like that way I am, I would never change it. I couldn't imagine myself being, I guess what everybody calls normal cause this is my normal."
Siggins reveals that she was born with sacral agenesis which caused her legs to be severely deformed. When she was a child, they were amputated.
"My mom knew I was different and unique and everybody did stare at me," she said. "I didn't want to be a part of a 'freak show' in the sense of exploiting myself. I've pretty much lived a life where I haven't done that."
Siggins has not let her condition slow her down and went on two give birth to two children, despite doctors hesitations. Joining Siggins as "Freak Show" characters are Fraser, who was born with phocomelia which caused his hands and arms to be deformed; Erika Ervin, the tallest model in the world (who also happens to be transgender); and Jyoti Amge, the world's smallelst woman.
During the red carpet premiere of "American Horror Story: Freak Show" Murphy told E! News that Amge may be a tiny person but she has a big "diva" personality.
"[She's] the biggest diva in the world, which I love!" Murphy said. "She came here with an entourage. In India, she's a deity, so she showed up like, 'Ok, I'm ready to work and I'm ready to be treated in a very special way.' She's amazing and her laugh is amazing, she's infectious. She's Jessica Lange's favorite acting partner ever from Jessica's career. And also, she's a really good actor."
