EspañolCHRIS EVANS (ACTOR)
(Redirected from Chris Evans (American actor))
'Christopher Robert Evans' (born June 13, 1981) is an American actor. He is perhaps best known for his roles in the films ''Fantastic Four'', ''Cellular'' and ''Not Another Teen Movie''.
Evans was born in Sudbury, Massachusetts to a dentist father and a dancer mother. He has three siblings, Shanna, Scott and Carly. Evans is of Italian and Irish descent and is a Catholic.[1][2] He graduated from Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School in 1999 and had originally planned to attend NYU after graduating high school.
After completing his junior year in H.S. Evans traveled to New York where he interned at a casting agency and took a summer acting program. That same summer he met an agent that helped him get his start in acting after completing high school. Evans had small parts on television series such as ''Boston Public'' and ''The Fugitive'' and a role in the TV series ''Opposite Sex'' before landing his first notable role as Jake Wyler in ''Not Another Teen Movie''. The film contained a somewhat notorious spoof of the ''Varsity Blues'' movie, where (to attract the attention of a girl) Evans entered the room wearing nothing more than whipped cream and cherries covering his nipples and crotch, and a banana sticking out of his buttocks.
After filming wrapped on ''Not Another Teen Movie'', Evans landed several more lead roles in ''The Perfect Score'' and ''Cellular''. He also starred in a few independent films where audiences got to see a different side to Evans. In ''London'', Evans played a strung out coke head. He was then chosen to play Human Torch in the 2005 comic book adaptation ''Fantastic Four''. Evans has worked opposite some of the biggest names in Hollywood, including Kim Basinger, Diane Lane, Scarlett Johansson, William H. Macy and Donald Sutherland. He was named 'Male Superstar of Tomorrow' at the 2005 Young Hollywood Awards. Evans has been featured in many well known magazine publications. Recently, Evans reprised the role of Johnny Storm/The Human Torch in the sequel ''.
Next up for Evans is the role of Diskant in ''The Night Watchman'', co-starring Keanu Reeves, and Jimmy in ''The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond'', co-starring Bryce Dallas Howard, Ellen Burstyn and David Strathairn. The latter is based on a play created by Tennessee Williams. Both movies were announced to be out in 2008.
Evans dated actress Jessica Biel, but they broke up in 2006 after five years.[3]
