Thanks to Jamie Lee Curtis, Billie Lourd, Emma Roberts, and Oliver Hudson, Scream Queens is chock full of second-gen stars, but it isn’t the only Ryan Murphy show featuring a Hollywood heir apparent. Although in this case, hair apparent might be more fitting.

Turns out Lyric Lennon, the mop-headed tween portraying Lachlan Drake on American Horror Story: Hotel, whose fashion designer dad Will (Cheyenne Jackson) has unknowingly introduced him to a brood of bloodsucking blonde babes, is the son of the once equally shaggy singer and O-Town heartthrob Ashley Parker Angel.

It may be his first role in a scripted series, but Lyric was born to be on TV. Literally, in fact, as his mom Tiffany Lynn’s labor and delivery, during which dear ol’ dad had his bangs trimmed in the hospital room, and Lyric’s first weeks of life in 2006 were featured on MTV’s Making the Band spinoff There and Back.
That reality show documented Angel’s struggle to transcend boy-band branding and launch himself as a serious songwriter and solo artist. It also highlighted his first few months of fatherhood and home life with his then-fiancée. (They called it off in 2008.)
