American Horror Story Actors Who Were Never the Same After Their Roles

Watching American Horror Story is scary enough... but how does the cast feel about bringing these stories to life? American Horror Story seems to have a lasting impact on its stars, sometimes for better and sometimes for worse. Here's how the show has changed the lives of these actors. In the early years, Evan Peters was basically the face of American Horror Story. He started out playing Tate Langdon in the first season and went on to star in seven more seasons of the creepy anthology series. It seemed like Peters would always be part of the cast—but that turned out not to be the case. In 2019, Peters shocked fans with the announcement that he wouldn't be returning for 1984, the show's ninth season. Prior to Peters' announcement, the actor revealed that American Horror Story was affecting his mental health, telling GQ in 2018: "I don't like yelling and screaming. I actually hate it. I think it's disgusting and really horrible [...] Horror Story kind of demanded that of me." He continued explaining: "It's just exhausting. It's really mentally draining, and you never want to go to those places in your life. And then you have to go there for the scenes, and it ends up becoming part of your life in a way."
