Evan Peters’s Career and Earnings
Peters got his big break with the award-winning film "Clipping Adam" in 2004. He won several awards and critical acclaim for his role in the film. He then appeared in commercials and television shows such as "The Days", "Phil of the Future", and "Invasion".
His next memorable role came in Marvel’s “X-Men” series in which he portrayed “Quicksilver”. However, Peters gained widespread popularity playing the role of “Tate Langdon” on “American Horror Story” where his character perpetuated a grand act of violence. He continued with the show till season 8.
He has also appeared in films such as "An American Crime", "Never Back Down", "Kick-Ass", and "The Good Doctor” and television shows such as “The Days”, "Monk", "The Mentalist", "The Office", and more.
Peters made about $15,000 to $35,000 per episode for his role in “The Days”. For the shows, “Phil of the Future” and “Invasion”, he made $25,000 to $40,000 per episode and for his roles as Tate Langdon in the series “American Horror Story”, he made a salary of $100,000 to $250,000 for each episode. His salary for “Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” is unknown, but it’s estimated that he would have made much more than his salary for AHS.
Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story
Peters has worked with Ryan Murphy, the creator of “Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” since 2011, on numerous projects, including “American Horror Story". However, after several seasons on AHS, Peters was trying to avoid playing another dark, horror character but he agreed to play Dahmer, as he felt affected by it.
“It was something that I wasn’t planning on doing, but Ryan sent the script to me and the writing and the series were all so tragic and compelling that I felt affected by it,” Peters told The Envelop, as per the LA Times.
Peters said it was one of the toughest roles of his career and shared how difficult it was to portray the serial killer. "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 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," Peters told Netflix.
To prepare for the role, Peters watched Stone Phillips's interview with the real Dahmer and read numerous biographies, the police report of Dahmer's confession in 1992, and listened to the audio of Dahmer speaking to a psychologist/detective.
Personal Life
Peters was in an on-and-off relationship with actress Emma Roberts from 2012 to 2019. The two met while filming “Adult World” and Peters proposed to Roberts a year later in 2013. They called off the engagement in 2015, but reunited three months later. Their on-again-off-again relationship came to an end in March 2019.
After that, Peters was rumored to be dating singer Halsey. The two made their first public appearance at American Horror Story's 100th episode party. Peters even went on tour with the singer but they called it quits in March 2020.
As of now, Peters appears to be single but there have been rumours that he is dating Frances Mairead, according to ELLE Australia.
