The 41-year-old actor is a huge fan of the TV series and had asked screenwriter and personally asked director Ryan Murphy if there was any way he could be included, reported Variety.

"I wrote a letter to Ryan, asking if I could be in it. And he didn't respond," Harris said.

"Neil Ptrick Harris of course you can be on Freak Show! I have a role I think you'd love," Murphy tweeted.

The series will include returning cast members Evan Peters, Emma Roberts, Gabourey Sidibe and Jessica Lange.
