We’ve organized this list by the numbers Katherine assigns them, as she can’t be bothered to remember their names.A stage legend , O’Hare is well-known for his work on “True Blood” and his Emmy-nominated turns on “This Is Us” and “American Horror Story.”

Even though it’s just a quick scene, Dancy admits it was terrifying to think about.
