There is nothing remotely scary about "
American Horror Story" hunk
Dylan McDermott.
Here's the 32-year-old "Steel Magnolias" star back in 1993 (
left) -- and 18 years later, the 50-year-old at an event in L.A. recently (
right).
"Practice" makes perfect.
Dylan McDermott is having major trouble selling his L.A. home and has had to slash over $4 million from the initial asking price.
The former "Practice" star listed the 4 bedroom/3 bath Brentwood home for $11 million in August, but still hasn't had any takers even after chopping
20% off the price to just under $9 million back in January. Now he's marked the 3/4 acre property even further to $6.9 million. No doubt his ex-wife Shiva Rose is eager for her share of the sale too.
In 1999, Dylan originally bought the 4,000 square foot home for $3.9 million from
Melanie Griffith and
Antonio Banderas.
The recession is a bitch ... for everyone.
Depending on the way you look at it... if you buy Dylan McDermott's home right now, you'll either be saving $2 mil or losing $9 mil.
McDermott has chopped off almost 20% of the $11 million pricetag his Brentwood (L.A.) pad boasted back in August -- it was listed last week at a smidgen under $9 mil, according to
Realtor.com. We're guessing that
pesky divorce from wife Shiva Rose may have something to do with it.
Fun Facts: The house -- which is one block from where OJ's infamous Brentwood home used to be -- was sold to Dylan in '99 by Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas ... who bought it in '97 from Michelle Pfeiffer.
That's right ladies, Dylan McDermott will officially be a single man on January 2, 2009. The countdown begins!

Dylan McDermott's Porsche was the victim of an unfortunate hit and run -- returning to his car after dinner to find the side mirror dangling from the door!
He was severely bummed, but at least the other driver left a note.
The same guy who was spotted telling Roy Scheider, "I know where you live," was caught hugging Cuba Gooding, Jr. just a few hours earlier. Who
doesn't he know?!
