Equally, Peters is also known as a supporter of the LGBTQ+ community.
The actor talked with GQ about his experience working in Pose and explained how he has "learned a lot from the trans community."
In the American drama series created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Steven Canals, he played the character Stan Bowes, a white man dating a transgender prostitute behind his wife's back.
The experience of portraying such a role was distinct for the actor, as he acted in a majority transgender and queer set with rich diversity. The set was enriched with people of color, and he was of German descent with white ethnicity.
"This is a whole world and culture that I knew nothing about," Peters shared GQ. "It's been a massive learning experience, and I've grown a lot. I've learned a lot from the trans community," he added.
The actor also sang praises of the LGBTQ community and called them an "incredible[ly] strong" group of people. "They've had to deal with way bigger problems than anything I've ever had to deal with. It just makes me humbled," he said.
