40+ Celebs Who Look Nothing Like the Roles They Played

Many of the actors from American Horror Story: Freak Show don’t look like their characters in real life, as is understandably common. In Ryan Murphy’s anthology horror series, American actress Naomi Grossman plays Pepper, an inmate at Briarcliff.

The character of Pepper appears in two distinct seasons of the program, both of which are called American Horror Story: Asylum. To prepare for the part, she shaved her head. She also sports a variety of prosthetics and dentures. It would be difficult to find out who the character is in real life.
