‘The Beauty’s John Carroll Lynch on That Heartbreaking Choice & the ‘Leap of Faith’ to Do Ryan Murphy Shows

Actor John Carroll Lynch said he was diagnosed with prostate cancer and that the experience refocused him, recalling the doctor's grim entry.
Lynch said Murphy's productions insist on working with real people and experiences, asking actors to meet that truth, which shaped his choices for physically demanding roles.
On set, the physically demanding stunts involved spending every episode `in a silk bag in the swamps`, with Lynch describing the work as physically taxing from rolling and contortions to soreness afterward.
Lynch said performing opposite someone for whom the circumstances are real pushed him to step up; he only saw her work in the finished episode and was impressed.
Questions about morality and identity, Lynch said, asking `Once you've swung past the buoy of morality, who are you?`, and noted people who do these jobs carry a challenging ethos.
