Not every up-and-coming[很有前途的] actor can portray[飾演] a disturbed[心理不正常的] teenage serial killer[連環殺手] with enough likability[可愛] that viewers still find him endearing[令人鍾愛的]. But not every upand-coming actor is Evan Peters， which is why the 26-year-old American Horror Story star is the most talked-about young talent in Hollywood—and scored the role every young male actor had his eyes on： Quicksilver in X-Men： Days of Future Past. “[Director] Bryan Singer said he liked my work in AHS and that he wanted me for the part，” Evan remembers. “I was jumping up and down. I’d never gotten an offer like that in my life！”
While it may have come as a shock to him， AHS fans have long known Evan as an actor with serious skills. The St. Louis native perfected his craft with roles on One Tree Hill and in the big-screen superhero comedy Kick-Ass. But none of his parts have been more career-defining than the one in AHS， where he held his own against powerhouse[力量強大的人] costars Dylan McDermott， Connie Britton， and Jessica Lange.
Evan admits that his road to fame hasn’t been a cakewalk[易如反掌之事]. The Los Angeles house where he shot AHS’s pilot episode—a historic 106-year-old house that gave many viewers chills at first glance—forced him to face his fears from the beginning. “It groaned[呻吟] and moaned[發出呻吟聲]. And the basement was terrifying！”he says. The creepy set[布景] pales in comparison to what he remembers as one of his most difficult scenes to film： a torture[折磨] sequence[片斷] in AHS： Asylum. “I was naked， covered in goo[黏性物]， laying on a slab[厚平板] that would cut my back if I moved the wrong way，” he says. “After five takes， I was panting[喘氣的] and exhausted—and then I had to do one more.”
