Peters’ momentum on the small screen has been impressive, going from Pose to WandaVision and Mare of Easttown. He also has continued his run on American Horror Story for ten years and 99 episodes.

In a category filled with nominees from Hamilton, Peters beat out Daveed Diggs, Jonathan Groff, Anthony Ramos, Paapa Essiedu, and Thomas Brodie-Sangster. Though he only appeared in four episodes of the seven-episode series, Peters’ Detective Zabel entered in an unassuming way but soon became a key player in the compelling drama.
