User:Kingsif/DraftList of frequent collaborators of Ryan Murphy

Auteur Ryan Murphy is one of the most prolific American television creators of the 21st century.^[1] In his work, he frequently collaborates with fellow writers and producers Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan, first working as a creative trio on Glee,^[2] as well as a selection of actors including Sarah Paulson; Evan Peters; Lily Rabe; Frances Conroy; Finn Wittrock; Jessica Lange; Dylan McDermott; Angela Bassett; Kathy Bates; Adina Porter; and Darren Criss.^[1]

The group of actors with significant roles in multiple Ryan Murphy productions have been dubbed the "Ryan Murphy Universe"^[3] or "Murphy-verse".^[1] Besides actors and production personnel, other common aspects to Murphy's work include: telling "women's stories", particularly those of older women;^[4] having a stereotypical "popular girl" and/or a contrasting underdog;^[1]^[5] criticism of conventional beauty standards and plastic surgery; heightened cinematic aesthetics; the theme of the formation of family units; and specific use of pop music.^[5] In 2012, Murphy and Elle used several of his leading ladies to recreate classic horror film posters as fashion shoots.^[6]

This series of lists details actors and production crewmembers who have worked with Murphy on more than one unique^[a] production.
