YOUR FAVORITE MTV SHOWS ARE ON PARAMOUNT+

Did You Spot The Dad From 'Even Stevens' On These 12 TV Shows?

He played a lot of clergy members, surprisingly.

This past week's Nov. 4 episode of "American Horror Story" had an interesting connection to the Disney Channel. Did you notice Principal Johnson, the poor guy who gets mauled by a horde of vampire children, was the same actor who played dad Steve Stevens on "Even Stevens"?!

Actually, this isn't the first time actor Tom Virtue appeared on "AHS." He was briefly in an episode of "AHS: Asylum" as a news reporter.
