Several of Evan Peters' "American Horror Story" characters have displayed positive, even heroic behavior, but Kit Walker in "Asylum" is the most likable of them all. It helps that "Asylum" was a solid season, and from the get-go, it's obvious Walker will be a good guy. Of course, anyone would seem likable if they're up against the likes of Sister Jude (Jessica Lange) or Dr. Arthur Arden (James Cromwell). 

After Walker's wife Alma (Britne Oldford) is abducted by UFOs, he's framed for her murder and admitted into Briarcliff Manor. His goal is to prove his innocence, but he also takes the time to show kindness and selflessness towards those around him. For example, after Lana Winters (Paulson) rats him and Grace Bertrand (Lizzie Brocheré) out for trying to escape, he ends up saving her from Bloody Face (Zachary Quinto) towards the end of the season. After he's free, he cares for Sister Jude in her old age, even though she had a major hand in his torture at Briarcliff Manor. Because he's able to forgive those who've hurt him, his character is likable and admirable.
