Best drunk acting I’ve ever seen. Evan was one of my favorite parts of this show!

[@nangs2039]

I'm sorry but I hated what happened to him. I legit screamed at the TV!

[@715creeks]

nang s same, it was a very intense scene!

[@cemcalex]

And he won the Emmy!

[@Binzalee]

“Okay, let me just put my bagel down”. That was so great

[@disneychannel2263]

Same

[@Anamika_patel]

I like the fact that he came up with this bagel line by himself. Such an amazing actor.

[@reidydanny]

Absolutely the most accurate "drunk" acting I've ever seen

[@rahanasseryan]

Evan Peters 1)is very hardworking and talented 2)smart actor and detail oriented 3)has a big fanbase So please give him big roles he can pull them off

[@lizasharma5200]

He will play a lead role in Netflix

[@artcountry7062]

Dahmer winks

[@raquelmiranda7378]

Y que su personaje no lo eliminen tan pronto. La verdad que me va a costar seguir la serie sin el detective Collins, mi hermoso Evan Peters

[@th_6287]

I've never seen somebody embody a drunk performance so brilliantly and so flawlessly in my life like Evan Peters did. He gave so many different nuances to it that felt so authentic. Not to mention his mannerisms and accent and expressions were so deeply accurate as well. Evan Peters, you completely deserve that Emmy and you are simply beyond PHENOMENAL!!!!

[@scarlet2690]

I think Evan is so insecure about himself as an actor and maybe that's the reason he's always trying to do something new in his scenes. It seems like he's never confident about what he is doing with his acting. Some people may think that's a weakness but I do think it's totally the opposite. That ''insecurity'' makes him a very creative and genuine actor, also he looks so real and natural on camera. It's so great that he's finally being recognized for it. He's amazing.

[@Wigfield84]

Yes! It also makes him constantly improve. I don’t often see actors improve with each role like he does, and he was good from the beginning!

[@bonniemessick2513]

Emma ruined his self esteem

[@nurseaylla]

Well said! 👏🏻💯💯 I’m really glad he’s getting the recognition he deserves and awards buzz 🍀 hope to see him win another Emmy for Dahmer

[@vegetagalicia]

@@nurseaylla i have watched many of his job and the problem he has is that is not confident of himself when has a lot of potencial,this guy is chamaleonic, he transmits that charisma ,on pose tv show her character is sensual and know how to do it ,on Dahmer olso did a spectacullar job

[@caryncambra300]

I love Evan Peters! He’s so incredibly talented, smart, handsome yet still has insecurities. Makes him relatable and shows he cares and strives to be the best he can be.

[@popemdobro2605]

And they both won emmys! Hope they work together again. Insane chemistry.

[@hellofoamiesASMR]

True! Great casting

[@nancy2k]

A masterclass in acting, directing and writing, full stop.

[@earthgrazer5511]

YES. YEEESSSS.

[@mils149]

If he doesn’t get his Emmy I am going to lose hope in humanity as they continue to sleep on Evans talent!

[@shellimeade5299]

He got the Emmy:-)

[@DyingBeauty1]

I hate how hard Evan Peters is on himself. You are good Evan stop it lol.

[@mjeltonfreddie]

I love how this whole interview is just all about Evan basically 💗

[@s_adalheid]

his drunk acting is adorable and he is adorable ❤️

[@savannabonafede4376]

I love evan is shooting dahmer during this interview so you can see the dahmer hair and kind of hear the accent a bit. Wow he’s brilliant

[@WillWright1]

Zabel steals this scene hands down, completely.

[@paola_2080]

I was in shock and in awe when I was watching this scene. Bravo, Evan.

[@cemcalex]

Hilarious that the bagel line was his, that’s the best line of the scene IMO.

[@roscoe854]

Not only was this great acting but it was great collaboration by everyone to create such a safe environment

[@misty7919]

Yes!! Agreed!

[@LylaRox]

Evan is such an amazing actor. I can’t wait to see him in more and more roles!

[@NY-rg9br]

I think Evan is brilliant in everything I've seen him in but I get the feeling that the reason he is so insecure is probably because there must have been a lot of projects he was up for but didn't get after auditioning. Cause it is a bit surprising to me that he hasn't landed a huge role other than AHS at this point. I'm sure he too expected more. He has the talent, charisma and fan base (from what I see) so I don't know why he doesn't get bigger roles

[@rahanasseryan]

very well said

[@sunny70299]

Could have something to do with it. He has joked about loosing out on a few big auditions, he was almost Petyr in The Hunger Games. It could also have something to do with the circumstances around how he came to Hollywood as a kid. The photographer who "discovered" him back in Michigan and basically arranged for him to move to LA is a guy called "bob lamb" a quick Google search should let you know why his closeness to Evan when Evan was a 14/15 year old is troubling. Hollywood is a murky place.

[@hollywoodshopaholic]

I assumed it was partly because he's starting to enter an awkward age where he can't play the same boyish roles anymore but doesn't look like a masculine leading man, either. His fanbase is mostly teenage girls so he isn't taken seriously as an adult actor. Sort of like late growing pains.

[@NY-rg9br]

@@hollywoodshopaholic might be something to it but I'm sure he has a lot of older fans too cause we are the ones who watched AHS when it started. I'm his age and most of the people I know that are my age know him and like him. And I do think he looks his age now and can play mature roles

[@lizasharma5200]

Well glad he booked a Netflix TV show

[@Belfastboi]

Kate. Wow. She is the rock upon which other actors stand. It’s very obvious what Evan is doing. The craft the skill the experience and sheer magnitude of talent and generosity in her scenes with others is not so obvious. No neediness. Just a steady brilliant actor. She blows me away. The writer is so generous here giving them credit for their input. That’s rare. Great teamwork

[@ivelinata]

The drunkness and rawness of this scene is hands down the best part of the show., brilliantly executed. You forget you're watching a show, damn it. He really really REALLY nailed it. I'm so sad he felt like he was failing the scene since everybody knew it was the complete opposite - but I can relate to that insecurity 100%

[@tbee1638]

We need this guy to recognize how good he is. Break out from AHS. You're more than that.

[@LylaRox]

Seriously! He is so talented! He should step out from AHS. I would love to see him in films.

[@judithgalicia5808]

Yes but the decision is on him,and he has to give that step

[@jeannekonijn4937]

1) EP always looks good. 2) He’s been acting a lot longer than he gives himself credit for - also been with AHS vs other opportunities. 3) Kate has been a acting a LONG time so she can understand EP’s POV. 4) I’m 100% still salty they killed off Zabel - why on earth kill off this lovely guy!?!?? So wrong! 5) EP deserves the Emmy but he’s up against 3 dudes from Hamilton - why can’t he catch a break🙄

[@ryancefalu169]

Glad he won 😊

[@charmedprince]

Spoilers Alert please! He dies? Should i still watch this show?

[@raoul4free]

@@charmedprince Absolutely! I just watched it and even though his death was spoiled for me it didn't ruin it for me. It actually gave me this experience of sympathising more with him I think, it just made it more sad. By the way, I watched the show mainly because Evan is in it, but I loved it for everything else too, it is excelent!

[@charmedprince]

@@raoul4free alright. But I'll wait until the season 2 of The Gilded Age on HBO streams before i resume my subscription on the app. By then I'll have the full The White Lotus season 2 to watch as well 😊

[@dextermoore278]

Congratulations Evan Peters for winning the Emmy for this Show. You are magnificent. I love you 😍

[@azcardguy7825]

Evan Peters is an amazingly underrated actor

[@vegetagalicia]

I think is cause he is so insecure

[@muttonking9]

Show was amazing. We demand season 2. Wish makers will go for it. Kate winslet is beyond perfect 💕

[@bighitboysaremylife4492]

Evan is looking so good😩😍😍

[@mate3891]

Evan is absolutely brilliant, incredibly talented. So much love for him🫶🏻

[@sussaneduran3949]

With respect to you Kate Winslet, we loved this show at my house. I also have to say that I hope you bring the show back in some form. Also I became such a fan of Zabel. So glad he won an Emmy! We need to keep an eye on him. Reminds me of a young Steve McQueen. Enjoyed making of a scene! Bravo!

[@deborahdaly5850]

Just incredible acting.

[@asmallsandstorm4686]

They were both so incredible!

[@illnsp08]

His drunk scene is really impressive! It connects all the dots.

[@nevecampbell-ue6on]

Wow, it's hard to believe that he wasn't drunk. 👏🏻

[@hollymoon4302]

I think I fell in love with Evan after that

[@jenniferisabeltalia]

Evan Peters deserved that Emmy and he deserves another one for Dahmer. The man is a genius and I don't know that he knows that.

[@vegetagalicia]

You are right ,very insecure of himself,here saying he did a horrible job when tje reallity was amazing

[@annalisatrentini7474]

Evan Peters è un attore talentuoso. Ho scoperto un attore che da emozioni e regala grandi passioni. E ha una bellissima voce.

[@brookechansler4147]

I think we can all agree that both of them are amazing actors, beautiful people, and well deserving of their Emmys! ❤️

Looks Evan he was Dahmer prep mode during this interview judging by his hair color. I wonder how hard it is to switch back and remember a role and your headspace while filming it when you’re filming something radically different.

[@kguerr197]

He was almost done shooting for Dahmer when this interview happened.

I just decided to rewatch it and it’s such a brilliant show but man Evan peters character beings something huge it, they really needed a properly good character like that who was lovely and they knew that so nothing could have been more shocking than him hitting the ground. I just could not see that coming and you really miss him the next two episodes…

Evan Peters uno de las más grandes y brillantes actores de nuestra generación y muy sobrevalorado por la industria del cine. De la inseguridad que quizas tenga él como cualquiera de nosotros en un trabajo equis, el saca esta genialidad de escena digna de un Emmy y si fuera pelicula seria digna de un Oscar....

Evan me impresiona su iniciativa y responsabilidad con sus papeles pero en en el ámbito sentimental no tiene suerte 😭

[@vegetagalicia]

El chico es agradable pero siento que él es bien inestable ,en actuacion no se da cuenta de su potencial no sabe explotarlo ,lo veo y es un actor tremendo que no ha sabido aprovecharlo, lo veo como quicksilver y carismatico el personaje ,lo veo como ek asesino March y es un sadico gracioso con un diferente acento,lo veo como seductor el chico btrasmite esa sensualidad que tiene (para mi el chico no es guapisimo tampoco feo )pero la sensualidad que proyecta carisma y sonrisa lo es todo,no se qie mas proyectos tenga pero siento que en Dahmer tiene que estar nominado a los Emmy

[@ivimos2420]

​@@vegetagalicia talento que no ha sabido explotar? Que dice? Es difícil llegar a la cima en la actuación, ahora está logrando reconocimiento, era hora pero es re joven, y con respeto a la belleza, él es bello no solo físicamente si no toda su persona y eso vale más que cualquier cosa

The accent he using is Dahmer comes through in Easttown every once in a while. He must have know about both rolls while shooting.

[@kguerr197]

He played a drunk scene here so it will sound a bit like Dahmer but the Delaware and Milwaukee accent is not that different.

Of course not,the accents are differents
