Joseph Fiennes near deal to join season 2 of American Horror Story

I like Joesph Fiennes, especially as William Shakespeare in Shakespeare in Love. The first season of American Horror Story was kind of grounbreaking as far as horror on TV, but it lost it's way a little towards the end of the season. The cast assemmbled thus far for the sequel makes me believe they may turn in a complete effort this time, especially since Fiennes is close to filling the last major role for the season, the head of the mental instittuion the season is going to be set in. Fiennes joins an all-star cast for AHS‘ second season, which already includes Lange, James Cromwell, Chloe Sevigny, Zachary Quinto, Adam Levine, Lily Rabe, Sarah Paulson, and Evan Peters.
