## Fi1m on Evan Peters

> Evan Peters can make us take horror seriously, even when the writing is distracted by its next gruesome idea. We value that commitment, but *TRON: Ares* and *Wish* show how little he can do with thinly written parts.

Peters plays Cooper Madsen in *The Beauty* (2026) with a seriousness that makes the gruesome material matter. We found ourselves caring more than the scattered writing deserved, because he commits to the horror while the series wavers between that and black comedy. Ryan Murphy's series has enough invention to reward a strong stomach, but its beauty-industry satire is blunt. Peters and Jeremy Pope, as Jeremy, give us reasons to stay with the people when the writing would rather introduce another idea. That is useful work, though it cannot make eleven episodes feel necessary.

The breakthrough was Tate Langdon in *American Horror Story* (2011), the Murphy collaboration that kept finding different uses for him. Those parts could be sympathetic, monstrous or comic, so treating him simply as a specialist in menace misses much of the work. There was room alongside those horror parts for the fast-moving Quicksilver in *X-Men: Days of Future Past* (2014). For the lead role in *Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story* (2022), his preparation included changing his posture and accent.

*TRON: Ares* (2025) shows the limits of hiring a capable actor and handing him a familiar type. Peters plays Julian Dillinger as a rich boy who has never been told no, the owner of the machine that sends Jared Leto's Ares into the world. The entitlement is clear enough; there is little in the script to make it interesting. Director Joachim Rønning has good actors, including Greta Lee and Gillian Anderson, but the film keeps repeating ideas it has barely developed. Nothing here suggests that more effort from Peters would have fixed the problem.

*Wish* (2023) gives him still less to do as the voice of Simon, one of Asha's friends. Only Gabo's grumbling registers among that group, which leaves little basis for judging what Peters might have brought to a fuller part. These are not performances that justify following him into every project. For a useful example of what he adds, try *The Beauty*, provided a tolerance for body horror comes with a tolerance for untidy storytelling.

## Biography

Evan Peters is an American actor. He made his screen debut in the 2004 film Clipping Adam and appeared in the series Invasion (2005–2006).
