Some tropes associated with the actor include:
- Casting Gag: After playing Quicksilver in the X-Men films, he got cast in WandaVision as Ralph Bohner, who is manipulated into "playing" Quicksilver.
- Mr. Fanservice: Almost every season of American Horror Story he appears in has him stripping down to nothing
- Troubled, but Cute: Particularly his roles on American Horror Story.
