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

John Carroll Lynch compares his prostate cancer diagnosis to the real-life risks others face and recalls performing demanding stunts on shows like Freak Show and 1984.

  • Actor John Carroll Lynch said he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, recalling the doctor’s `cancer face` and the instant realization `Oh, I have cancer.`
  • Lynch said he lives in an imaginary world while acting, and when a co-star's real circumstances are absolute, he must deepen his performance.
  • These on-set demands, Lynch said, are part of working on such productions, including rolling and contortions that left him sore after scenes in Freak Show.
  • He said actors are asked to meet the truth of real people's lives, calling the experience `incredibly powerful` and emphasizing the sense of purpose and righteousness involved.
  • Ryan Murphy productions, Lynch noted, often put actors in unpredictable scenarios; he said he and Kelly were shot at simultaneously, so he didn't see her actions until he watched the episode.
