He appeared in the films Days of Future Past, Apocalypse, Dark Phoenix. He was also remembered for his roles in the anthology American Horror Story. For his role as Adam Shepard in Michael Picciottino’s drama Saving Adam, he was awarded the Phoenix Film Festival in the Best Actor Breakthrough category.

Childhood and youth

Evan Thomas Peters was born in the winter of 1987 in the American family of Phil and Julie Peters, who lived in the town of St. Louis, Missouri. Father, vice president of the private Charles Stuart Mott Foundation, was married twice. On his line, Evan has a sister, Michelle. Mom, a housewife, took care of children – Evan and his brother Andrew. The family was devout, so the boys attended St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Primary School.

When Evan turned 14, the family moved to the town of Grand Blanc, where the teenager began to take his first steps in creativity. His cheerful disposition and artistic inclinations were noticed by a teacher who led a theater group. Peters began to appear on stage, participate in various creative competitions, in which he invariably became a prize-winner, and even a winner.

Parents supported their son in his endeavors and, on the advice of a teacher, sent Evan to a drama studio, and at the same time he studied at a modeling school and succeeded a lot in this field. So, having won the main prize at a competition in Florida, Peters got to a photo shoot with a well-known professional who recommended a talented guy to a familiar agent in Los Angeles.

To realize his creative potential, sixteen-year-old Evan moved with his mother to the famous forge of American talent. With the support of an agent, Peters appeared at shows, participated in castings. The path to fame began prosaically, with commercials for Papa John’s pizzeria, Albertson grocery company, and Sony’s game console.

After filming in commercials, Evan received an offer from the creators of the Disney series Phil of the Future (2004-2006) and appeared in 5 episodes. As the actor’s mother recalled, Evan had a very busy year after that. The roles were small, but there were many: he played Eric Tavela in Detective Detective, Craig Baskin in Without a Trace, John Daniels in One Tree Hill.

After gaining experience, Evan played Russell Hayes in The Night Party, and then Adam Shepard in the drama Saving Adam. This role brought him his first recognition from fellow professionals at the Phoenix Film Festival.

“American Horror Story”

After a successful start, Peters began to appear a lot, but mostly in minor roles. He played Jesse Varone in Invasion, Ricky Hobbs in American Crime, Ross in Amazing Power. He starred in an episode of the famous House Doctor with equally popular actors Hugh Laurie and Lisa Edelstein. Appeared in the roles of Max Cooperman in the sports action movie Never Back Down and Craig Hope in the dramatic comedy The Dirt. He also played Oliver McDaniel in the detective thriller The Mentalist, starring Simon Baker.

Evans’ finest hour came when he was cast in the lead role of Tate Langdon in the horror anthology American Horror Story. The first season of the filming of the show took place in a strange killer house that looked quite decent and comfortable from the outside. The new family that moved into it could not even think that the “load” to the house was the ghosts of the former owners who lived in it. One of them, Peters’ character, is a psychopathic teenage school shooting.

The actor recalled:

What happened in the past with my character is terrible and tragic. The problem is that this is not fiction. There have been so many school shootings and Columbine is just one of them. It’s horrible. On the other hand, it’s cool, just going crazy in front of the camera is the dream of any actor. It’s a tough and exhausting experience, but I enjoyed shooting that scene, it was very interesting.

The character of Peters attracted the attention of the audience, he appeared in the second season, playing Keith Walker, a patient in a psychiatric clinic. In a duet with Sarah Paulson, he became a regular participant in all subsequent seasons until 2019, when he announced his unwillingness to participate in the ninth season of filming. The motive was his own fatigue from the gloomy characters that he had to portray in the show.

Horror fans most remember the serial killer James Patrick March, played by Evan, as well as his on-screen wife, played by Lady Gaga. Peters talked about working with the pop diva more than once in an interview, noting that in life he is a very calm person who knows how to work in a team. But he immediately recalled with a laugh that Lady Gaga’s immersion in her image was so complete that on the set she really scared him more than once.

No less popular in the performance of the actor was the character from the X-Men franchise, Mercury Man, who appeared in three seasons, and also appeared before the audience in the superhero Deadpool 2.

For his role as Kai Anderson in the seventh season of the horror anthology American Horror Story, Peters was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for a Saturn Award and a Critics’ Choice Television Award. His anti-hero, a psychopath and leader of a mass murder cult, seeks sole power in Brookfield Heights.

Following the actor starred in the crossover of the first and third seasons, after which he announced a break in his creative career. Fans attributed this decision to the fact that their favorite is painfully experiencing a breakup with his bride, but there was no confirmation of these assumptions.
