Adina Porter's long affair with 'American Horror Story'

She went from a one-episode appearance on 'American Horror Story: Murder House' to a major role and earned her first Emmy nomination for her work on the horror anthology series

Adina Porter is a brilliant actress who can fit into any character and is definitely a director's favourite pick. She has been leaving her mark in everything she does, whether it's a series or just an episode in the series. Adina has done justice to every character she has played and that is the reason for her being a recurring part of FX's 'American Horror Story'. “I’m very happy to be a working actor,” Adina said in an interview with ET. She went from a one-episode appearance on 'American Horror Story: Murder House' to a major role in Ryan Murphy's anthology horror series and earned her first Emmy nomination for' American Horror Story: Cult'.  

Adina joined the 'American Horror Story' in its sixth season 'AHS: Roanoke' and played the character of Lee Harris. She was initially hired for just six episodes and the actress kept guessing with each script whether it was her last one. However, the character became a recurring one.
