Our fantasy Ryan Murphy casts are already forming in our heads.

Ryan Murphy managed to seduce us all with the first season of FX anthology series, American Crime Story. Watching Cuba Gooding Jr play OJ Simpson in a dramatic retelling of a story we all know made it impossible to look away. Now, setting his sights on season two, he's looking to cast characters even more unfortunate than pre-fame Kardashians.

Having announced that season two will focus on Hurricane Katrina, Murphy is looking to cast actors in the roles of George W Bush and Condoleezza Rice. As Sarah Paulson, John Travolta, and Cuba Gooding Jr have already expressed interest in returning for season two, our fantasy Ryan Murphy casts are already forming in our heads. Perhaps Sarah Paulson could do Laura Bush some justice, and maybe Angela Bassett can give Condolleezza some much needed attitude.

Although these characters are certainly familiar to us all, Murphy is also pulling from Douglas Brinkley's book, The Great Deluge, which chronicles some inspiring and heartbreaking stories of those who faced the storm head-on.
