Murphy relays, "I try to get him to do everything for me... I sent him a text that said, 'First right of refusal, here's the role.'"

As for describing the character Bomer will portray on the horror hit, Murphy says, "It's very...warped."

Bomer previously guest-starred on Murphy's short-lived NBC series THE NEW NORMAL as well as made a guest appearance on Murphy's hit FOX musical dramedy series GLEE in addition to his work with the director on THE NORMAL HEART.
