Denis O’Hare covets sex scene with ‘AHS’ co-star

This is Us

Tuesday, 9 p.m., NBC
The fall season finale of “This Is Us” was the series’ most dramatic episode to date. Kate’s (Chrissy Metz) boyfriend Toby 💦(Chris Sullivan) keeled over in Randall’s (Sterling K. Brown) living room on Christmas Eve. I✃f that wasn’t enough, William (Ron Cephas Jones) went to an AA meeting and met an old friend — a lover he’d run out on.

Denis O’Hare, who has played multiple crazy roles on “American Horror Story,” 🐼joined the cast in a recurring role as Jessie, an Englishman whom William had met in the 12-step program. When the show resumes this Tuesday, Jessie begins to spend more time with terminally ill William, and poor Randall, the shock absorber of the series, has one more adjustment to make in his constantly changing life.

O’Hare, 54, spoke to The Post about his role from Santiago, Chiꦡle, where he is perforꦅming in a one-man show called “An Illiad,” based on Homer’s famous poem about the fall of Troy.

Had you worked with Ron Cephas Jones?
I’ve known him for years. We had crossed paths in London a long time ago when I was doing a play called “Take Me Out” and he was doing a play called “Jes🎃u🐲s Hopped the A Train.” I’ve written a play about the Bible called “The Good Book” and we were desperate to get Ron to do a reading of it. So it was ironic that I ended up working with him.

How many episodes will you be in?
I’ve done two. I love the show. I love Sterling. And I watched it because Chrissy Metz was in “American Horror Story: Freak Show.” I love what the♍y’re doing structurally. It’s refreshing in the age of cynicism to have a show about sentiment and people’s hunger for meaning.

Jessie has a distinctive accent. Where is he from?
I can see Jessie coming from London. I used Martin Freeman o꧂f “Sherlock” as my model. I love his accent. It’s an everyday, common-Joe sound as opposed to a Hugh Grant posh accent.

Will you be coming back to “American Horror Story”?
Well, [creator] Mr. [Ryan] Murphy is so enigmatic,🌃ﷺ so I don’t know. I have faith I’ll be back. I love working with him. The writers and I get along very well. But I never knew who Liz Taylor [the character he played on “American Horror Story: Hotel”] was going to be until a few episodes in.

Do you have a favorite season of “AHS”?
It’s hard for me to say. Obviously “Hotel” was a really exciting storyline. I got to be naked with Finn Wittrock;♍ what’s wrong with that? I love Spalding of “Coven” because of his crazy life in the attic.
