At 2 feet, 0.6 inches, 20-year-old Amge is the smallest living woman known to science. She was born with growth anomaly called achondroplasia.
She joins other recent additions to the AHS family, including singer Patti LaBelle, The Shield's Michael Chiklis, The Hunger Games star Wes Bentley, Fargo's John Carroll Lynch and Finn Wittrock, who previously appeared in Murphy's adaptation of The Normal Heart.
Amge's role hasn't been announced, but its likely she'll be a part of the sideshow run by Jessica Lange's character in 1950's Florida.
American Horror Story: Freak Show debuts on FX in October.
