Evan Peters is no stranger to weird characters. Fans of American Horror Story will know some of his troubled characters, including a school shooter, a serial killer and a murderous cult leader.
But in an interview with Netflix, the streaming giant behind his latest success, Peters admits that Dahmer is the hardest role he’s ever had to play. The Emmy-award-winning actor admitted that he was actually scared of the things Dahmer did.
"I was very scared about all of the things that Dahmer did, and diving into that and trying to commit to [playing this character] was absolutely going to be one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do in my life because I wanted it to be very authentic," he told Netflix.
