So who is Evan Peters in real life? Let's try to take the cloak off and reveal his identity behind the camera. Here are 10 interesting facts about Evan Peters.

"It's been all a massive stretch for me and really difficult to do," he said about portraying those characters. "It's hurting my soul and Evan as a person.
