Trolling points.

In the AHS universe, they're two entirely different people even though they are played by the same person. It's like in Hotel where Sarah Paulson appeared as two characters: Hypodermic Sally and Billie Jean Howard. No one in the Hotel confused Billie Jean with Sally when they saw her.

I had to look that up. Seems perfect for negative nancies and wet blankets.

He needs to stop watching CinemnaSins on youtube.

What does casting have to do with the makeup dept? Otter, dear chap, your nit picking really is the only thing that's lazy. How about a few more threads?

It's technically "stunt" casting, and re-using characters from previous seasons. I'd hardly call it lazy, cause it's more exciting than Lee being interviewed by a generic TV presenter.

but Hollywood has thousands of actors, so using the same actor to play a different role but not using any disguises or prostethics is just lazy casting.

Think of it like theater. You have 20 cast members in a two-hour show with 35 roles. It doesn't make sense to have someone play a part that only occurs in the first act, so they play a new part in the second act. This usually doesn't happen in movies and TV - it's less for the logistical needs of a small space, but more because we want to see our favorites. Like when everyone went "That's it?" when Evan Peters showed up and died in one episode, he was brought back for a couple more in a new part, explained that he was playing the person who played that part in the fake show.
Lana is being used for one episode, and they didn't want Sarah Paulson to sit out the other 9.

I guess you could say that they're just played by the same actor is all. It's an anthology. You'd get a better understanding from hotel too because it's a lot more prevalent.

so it's just coincidence Lana looks exactly like Audrey?

Sarah Paulson plays Audrey, and played Lana, who is coming back as a character.

Wow. No. Lana is now in her 70's or so. Audrey was Audrey at her actual age. Audrey played Shelby but Shelby was younger. Threw in that last part just cuz it's true but none of the ladies are 'the same person's in the AHS universe

did I miss something in Asylum where Lana doesn't age?

No did you watch asylum at all?
