Chris Evans was born on born June 13, 1981 in Boston. His sister was acting before him and he started acting in school plays, went to theater camp and took an internship for a casting office. Thanks to that internship he got to know various agents and it did not take long before he started his career. His first roles were in The Newcomers, Opposite Sex and The Fugitive. After Not Another Teen Movie he starred in Cellular and The Perfect Score. His first comic book role would be in The Fantastic Four movie as Johnny Storm. Other movies he acted in were Sunshine, Street Kings, Push, The Losers and Scott Pilgrim. He is best known though for his role as Captain America in the Marvel universe.

So far, I like him as Captain America and I thought he was a really good Johnny Storm in those awful Fantastic Four movies as he and Michael Chiklis were the only guys that actually put any effort and life into their characters. He was awesome in The Losers while the best thing I’ve seen him do is Sunshine.
Both fun roles by him. Actually I do not remember him in Sunshine, but it has been ages since I last saw it.
His role in Scott Pilgrim was hilarious, but I prefer Captain America over Johnny Storm when it comes to super heroes.
Yeah, he was funny is Scott Pilgrim. I do think I would choose the Captain as well, which is a more rounded performance.
I like him as Captain America but I thought he was excellent in the underrated Fantastic Four films too.
Agree with you there!
I just saw him in The Iceman and had to a double take. He had a fun but short role in that film. The movie itself was decent at best, but it had some good performances.
He was unrecognisable in that film, great performance. I also was a bit disappointed by the movie itself.
Chris Evans is SO hot. I know at first I was thrilled with his Captain America casting since he had already been The Human Torch, but it’s my absolute favorite role of his. He’s perfect for the part.
Absolutely a good fit for the role.
Love him as Captain America, rest he is not that much good,,,,,
I do think he was great in some other roles. The Iceman is a good example…
The best thing about the Capt. America films, which have yet to really do much for me. Perfect bit of casting there. Same with Fantastic Four and Johnny Storm. Though, those films were really dire.
Really liked him in Scott Pilgrim and Push too. Push is such an underrated little film.
Never even heard of Push, but a quick look at the trailer makes me want to check that one out. Thanks for the tip Jaina!
He has sort of grown from a comedy guy into a pretty good actor. I would say he is like Channing Tatum. At first you sort of dismiss them but then they continue to surprise you with new roles. I like him as Captain America and like the comedy element he can bring to most roles.
That is an interesting comparison, which I can actually agree with. They have slowly proven themselves to be actors worth checking out.
