But, his most significant breakthrough was just about to knock on the door when producer Michael Picchiottino chose him to star in the film "Clipping Adam."

The Genious Of Tate Langdon

This role gave Evan Peters all the glory and recognition in the industry. Everybody knows how hard it is to become a staple name in Hollywood, but this boy gave his all playing the part of the monstrous, murderous, but charismatic teenager Tate Langdon ^[2] .

Tate's dark backstory is chillingly based on one of the first school shootings in Columbine High School, where two students shot and killed twelve of their fellow students and one teacher and then killed themselves.

Evan Peters represents the role respectfully and morbidly by playing the ghost of Tate Langdon, who committed mass murder and died in a haunted house.

You can see the sad, twisted, and dark emotions on Peters' face when he gets into character; he has the charm to make the viewers fall in love instantly without forgetting that he is a very tortured individual behind that innocent face.

'I think what it is, is that they write him as a nice guy. He is a pleasant, sort of normal, charming guy with feelings that can get hurt easily, and he's just sort of a very human character, and he's written that way.

And then what happens is they have that guy kill people and do evil things. So that you sympathize with him and care about him and really feel for him, and then at the same time, his actions they're confusing.

They're conflicting because he's doing evil things - his wicked things... It's very well written. It's really the writing, I think.' - Evan Peters, for an interview with Live Journal.
