McDermott, who appeared in three more series of American Horror Story as well as reprising the role of Ben in an episode of American Horror Stories, paid tribute to the show's creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk.
"We would not have American Horror Story, a winner of 16 Emmys, without the series creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk," he said.
