who plays the psychiatrist on american horror story cult
American Horror Story: Cult Ally (Sarah Paulson) and Ivy Mayfair-Richards (Alison Pill) are a married couple with a son, named Oz (Cooper Dodson), who live in the fictitious city of Brookfield Heights, Michigan. Ally suffers from several phobias including coulrophobia, haemophobia, and trypophobia, which intensify after Donald Trump wins the 2016 election. She often speaks with her psychiatrist, Dr. Rudy Vincent Anderson (Cheyenne Jackson), whose estranged and manipulative brother Kai Anderson (Evan Peters) forms a cult of individuals fed up with the political climate of the United States. Kai utilizes the fear inflicted upon the community by the cult's violent actions, notably those toward Ally and her family, to strengthen his campaign for a seat on the City Council. Cult members include Kaiâ€™s sister Winter (Billie Lourd), newscast reporter Beverly Hope (Adina Porter), married couple Harrison (Billy Eichner) and Meadow Wilton (Leslie Grossman), detective Jack Samuels (Colton Haynes), Trump-supporter Gary Longstreet (Chaz Bono), Ivy and Ally.
American Horror Story On October 4, 2016, the series was renewed for a seventh season, which premiered on September 5, 2017.[10][11][12] Ryan Murphy confirmed that the season will be connected to Freak Show; but will be set in modern day.[13] In February 2017, on Watch What Happens Live, Murphy announced that the season would revolve around the 2016 U.S. election and suggested that it may feature a character based on President Donald Trump.[14] In an April 2017 interview, Murphy stated that there would be no actors playing Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, though both would be seen onscreen.[15] Murphy has said that the season will be representative of both sides of the political divide; however, the writer says he will be "illuminating and highlighting" groups of people he believes to be "ignored by the current [Trump] administration and who are afraid and feel terrorized that their lives are going to be taken away."[16]
