American Horror Story: Each Character and Their "Dramatic" Counterpart, Side by Side

FX

Season six of American Horror Story has actually introduced very few characters — the trick is that two people are playing each of the main characters. Roanoke (so far, at least) has presented itself like a true-crime show, wherein a few people are describing their experience with the supernatural interview-style, set up in front of a camera. Then the show cuts to a dramatic reenactment of their story, complete with actors playing their parts. In case that's confusing, here's a rundown of who each person is playing and who is playing them within the world of the fake show.

Lily Rabe as Real Shelby and Sarah Paulson as "Shelby"

Andre Holland as Real Matt and Cuba Gooding Jr. as "Matt"

Adina Porter as Real Lee and Angela Bassett as "Lee"

Billy Snow as Rhett Snow (the Uber driver) and Unknown as "Rhett Snow"

I wish I could tell you who plays the reenactment version of Rhett, but he's not even listed in the credits.
