'American Horror Story' Season 5 News: What's The Deal With Mr. March And Miss Evers? [VIDEO]
Evan Peters is "having a ball" playing the sociopathic Mr. March in FX's American Horror Story: Hotel.
Peters' character Mr. March was introduced in episode 2 and provided the actor with some of the most disturbing content in AHS history. The sociopathic hotel creator was shown murdering several guests and sending them through the laundry chute, all with the help of laundress Miss Evers (Mare Winningham).
American Horror Story showrunner Ryan Murphy spoke to Entertainment Weekly's Tim Stack recently about Peters' new role.
"I love what he's doing and he's very heavy this season. The more we go on, the bigger he becomes. He's having a ball," Murphy said. "It's always a good thing when you have an actor who texts you after a scene, 'That was the most f---ed up but exhilarating thing I was forced to do.' That means I did my job, Tim."
In future episodes we will learn even more about how Mr. March became such a monster.
"He's evil and he's twisted. He said some line about that he had everything handed to him. Excess became such a part of his life that he couldn't feel anything. So in order to feel something he had to push it to an extreme dark place," Murphy explained.
One of the more interesting threads of the episode was Miss Evers' devotion to him, even while committing the most heinous of murders. Their relationship will be explored further in one of the Halloween episodes to come.
"Yeah, that's in one of our Halloween stories," Murphy teased. "We have a very big backstory that gives you the complete story of how Miss Evers started with him and how she came to be such a creature. But that's explained I believe in episode four."
American Horror Story: Hotel airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on FX.
