The 1940s ‘Hollywood’ project was hatched during Ryan Murphy and DarrenCriss’s celebratory dinner for ‘The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story’
and quickly became something of a Murphy muse. "He's that unicorn in this business," says the producer. "He looks like an old-time movie star and he can act, too." Corenswet had heard whispers of, and he kept his fingers crossed that he might get the call. "Ryan Murphy makes a lot of television and he has an excellent reputation for keeping people in the family, so that's always the hope," says the actor.
Then Murphy did one better, telling Corenswet, an aspiring producer-director as well, that he'd be giving him an executive producer credit on the series. Corenswet says he loved the front-row seat he got to seeing how the "sausage was made." As for his part in the production, it required he go back and re-watch a slew of 1940s films that he had grown up on. Unlike several of the other characters, however, there was no real-life figure to lean on for inspiration.
