Kai Anderson: American Horror Story – Cult
In the seventh season of American Horror Story, Cult, Evan Peters portrays the would-be cult leader Kai Anderson, one of the most ominous and terrifying characters. Peters embodied a truly unsettling cult leader, which ultimately got him the nomination for Best Actor in a Movie or Limited Series at the 8th Critics’ Choice Awards.
Colin Zaber: Mare of Eastown
In this HBO crime drama, Peters plays a detective alongside Kate Winslet rather than committing murder like many of his AHS characters. This intriguing criminal thriller takes place in a tiny village, and it’s a refreshing change to see Peters play the good guy for once. This performance also gained him 5 nominations and 3 wins for Best Supporting Actor in a Limited Series.
