American Horror Story: Evan Peters' Best Performances, Ranked

Known for his versatility as an actor and his ability to immerse himself in a wide range of complex characters, Evan Peters has become one of the standout performers on Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk's anthology horror series.

From the haunted to the haunting, here are Evan Peters' best performances in the American Horror Story franchise.

7. Mr. Gallant — Apocalypse (Season 8)

Evan Peters' portrayal of Mr. Gallant, a flamboyant hair stylist, is a delightful departure from the darker roles we've seen him play on the show before. His witty and cheeky performance brings humor to the show, while his resilience contrasts with his struggle with the isolated environment, unaware of the fate of the world.

6. Edward Mott — Roanoke (Season 6)

In a bloody Roanoke season, Peters takes on the role of Edward Mott, an eccentric artist from the past who was the owner of the season's main mansion. Despite the character's brief appearance, Peters gives Mott a unique charm and mysterious aura, making him one of the most memorable characters on the show.

5. Jimmy Darling — Freak Show (Season 4)

Lobster Boy, a young man with deformed hands who finds a sense of belonging in a freak show, showcases the actor's ability to convincingly portray both vulnerability and strength. Being one of the few positive characters in the series, Jimmy has become an endearing character to AHS fans.

4. Kit Walker — Asylum (Season 2)

As Kit Walker, a man falsely accused of horrific crimes, Peters shows his range by portraying a character caught in a web of conspiracy and supernatural events. His emotional depth and vulnerability in this role make it an outstanding performance, and his chemistry with Sarah Paulson's Lana Winters created one of the show's most memorable duos.

3. Kai Anderson — Cult (Season 7)

In one of the most realistic yet difficult seasons for the actor, Peters tackles the role of Kai Anderson, a charismatic but manipulative cult leader. Peters' ability to convey Kai's character's evolution from a persuasive figure to a dangerous fanatic was both chilling and compelling, but unfortunately destructive for the actor himself.

2. James Patrick March — Hotel (Season 5)

The portrayal of the utterly evil serial killer James Patrick March was the highlight of Evan Peter's departure from playing sympathetic characters. Peter shines as the enigmatic James March, the sinister owner of the haunted Hotel Cortez, as his character lacks redeeming qualities and stands as a dark villain who built a hotel to murder.

1. Tate Langdon — Murder House (Season 1)

Peter's ability to shift between charm and darkness created a fan-favorite troubled and enigmatic teen, Tate Langdon, a deeply unsettling yet significant figure on the show. As one of the main stars of the series, Tate plays a major role not only in the success of AHS but also in the plot of the Apocalypse season.
