Zachary Quinto's "American Horror Story" character Dr. Oliver Thredson a.k.a. Bloody Face was one of the sadistic stars of the show's second second "Asylum." But in an interview with HuffPost blogger Shannon O'Connor, the "Star Trek" star revealed that he probably won't be returning to "American Horror Story" for its third season.
"I haven't had any conversations about coming back, so at this point I don't think I will be part of the third season as no one has mentioned it to me and I know that they have been making other announcements for the cast.

His fans didn't get much in terms of details, but they didn't seem to mind.
"From what he said, I think he's kind of right about giving Rihanna some privacy," Fernando Feliciano told MTV News. "And he should be going out doing community service, not getting too much punishment — but he still should be getting punished."
Meanwhile, Shannon O'Connor thought that Brown was "owning up" to the incident. "Well, I mean,...
