Update : American Horror Story : Roanokefinallyrevealed Evan Peters ' character!And the theories were n’t too far off . Read on for our original post below .
American Horror Story : Roanokeboasts an copiousness of eccentric , from Kathy Bates ' crazed Butcher andLady Gaga ’s soul - thirsty Mrs. Henry Wood beldame , to Denis O’Hare ’s kooky prof and Leslie Jordan ’s Coke Zero - love medium . One buff - favorite worker , however , has noticeably been hide , four weeks and reckoning : where in the humankind is Evan Peters ?
Though Peters has n’t seem onscreen in an obvious manner , that has n’t stopped fans from think over . Some swan he ’s the guy wearing the pig masquerade ( this porcineInstagram might agreewith that ) . There ’s another rumor that has the 29 - year - old playing Edward Phillipe Mott , Dandy ’s relative remark in last night ’s episode . And there ’s even a Pig - Mottcombo theory .
FX
Hyper - observant net sleuths claim they have already spotted Peters ' typical shoulder :
But to which persona would those shoulders belong ? Piggy Man ? Or someone – something– else ?
Others still have question if Peters isone of the hombre help the camera crew , or if he ’s somehow tied to Lady Gaga ’s theatrical role :
FX
That last idea is peculiarly interesting , consideringthe twist promised in Episode 6 . We ’ve already envision Gaga and Matt ( André Holland , Cuba Gooding Jr. ) engage in a couple flighty sex acts . It ’s clear Gaga wantssomethingfrom Matt – probably not just him . So is there a chance their offspring could besome sort of Antichrist ? An Antichrist played by Peters ?
Peters has beencagey aboutRoanoke . During a recentConanvisit ( see below ) , his interview was more about his balls than his role . On social spiritualist , apart from that pig bed picture , he ’s been all aboutsharing this shirt that has his face on it . ( Stay eldritch . ) And the histrion mostly said " I do n’t know " whenThe Wrap speak to himabout the FX anthology at the close of summer – though he did have slip that he dyed his hair red for thisseason . ( " I ’m essay to figure out if I can say , " he said . " Yes , Ididn’t do this to my fuzz . " )
The smooth-spoken facing ? HeisinRoanoke . Heconfirmedthat , and he’scredited for every episode– either meaning we ’ve been watching him this whole time and have n’t noticed , or the show is expire red - herring - screwball . Antichrist ? Pig - Mott?Someone else ? With a monster turn two week off , here ’s hoping we findAHS’sCarmen Sandiegosoon .
