From frontman of a band, to reality show star, to the best new show of 2011. Nice work if you can get it! Yes, word is that Maroon 5 lead singer Adam Levine, now arguably equally famous through his work on NBC’s The Voice, is in negotiations to be cast in the next iteration of American Horror Story.

The producers, according to EW, are so enthusiastic about his casting that they’re willing to work around his summer touring schedule. He’ll be playing one half of a couple referred to as “the lovers,” and will be a current-day character. And in case you’re wondering, yes, this would be his TV acting debut. That sound you hear is the collective howl of unemployed professionally trained actors across the continent.

If it happens, he will be joining the returning (but in entirely new roles) Jessica Lange, Evan Peters, Lily Rabe, Sarah Paulson, and Zachary Quinto in the new season. We’ll keep you posted, of course.

American Horror Story is expected to return with its second season in October on FX.
