Although working with terrifying characters gave him the status he enjoys in Hollywood and earned him the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Miniseries, Evan Peters highlighted the need to move away from that genre because in his private life he presented mental health problems, in addition of physical and emotional exhaustion.
