In a very brief time, Chris Evans has built a name for himself, starring in an impressive range of comedic and dramatic roles, notably, as the Human Torch “Johnny Storm” in the international hit The Fantastic Four and opposite Kim Basinger and William H. Macy in the well-reviewed thriller Cellular. He previously co-starred with Scarlett Johansson in The Perfect Score.

Born in Sudbury, Massachusetts, Evans interned one summer at a casting office in New York when he was 17 and was signed by an agent. He was soon flown to Los Angeles to audition for a half-hour pilot and was cast on the Fox series, Opposite Sex. He followed with memorable roles on David Kelly’s Boston Public and on The Fugitive.

Since making his film debut in Not Another Teen Movie in 2001, Evans has appeared in The Orphan King, Griffin Dunne’s Fierce People (opposite Diane Lane and Donald Sutherland), and London (opposite Jessica Biel). Upcoming for Evans is Danny Boyle’s Sunshine (opposite Cillian Murphy and Michelle Yeoh), and Fantastic Four and the Silver Surfer.
