In case you're new to Bleeding Cool's TV neighborhood, you should know up front that we're huge fans of writer-director-producer Ryan Murphy – the man of million projects. Put aside the fact that he's one-half of the creative minds behind American Horror Story, it's the sheer scope and diversity of subjects he tackles that impresses us the most. Compare The Politician to 9-1-1… or to Pose or the upcoming Ratched and Hollywood… or his upcoming film adaptations of Broadway's The Prom and The Boys in the Band. Let's not forget Halston, the limited bio series of the famed 70's fashion designer starring Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan).

Producer Murphy definitely doesn't want you to forget, taking to Instagram to offer fans their first look at McGregor in character, as well as others in the Dan Minahan-directed, Sharr White-penned project (which is currently in production):
