7. Evan Peters - American Horror Story

Orphan Black Tatiana Maslany

American Horror Story has relished recasting actors in numerous roles across its many seasons, and no actor has typified that unhinged playfulness better than Evan Peters. Hold your breath, now, as we recount his major characters throughout each season.

During his tenure on the show, Peters has played psychiatric patient Tate Langdon, a man framed as a serial killer called Kit Walker, university student Kyle Spencer, deformed "Lobster Boy" Jimmy Darling, serial killer James March, actor Rory Monahan, alt-right cult leader Kai Anderson, gay hairstylist Mr. Gallant, and songwriter Austin Sommers.

This is not to forget that he also briefly played a number of cult leaders - Andy Warhol, Marshall Applewhite, David Koresh, Jim Jones, Jesus Christ and Charles Manson - in the show's seventh season.

Evans has close to 20 character to his name in American Horror Story alone, a part for which he should've received considerably greater awards attention, honestly.
