Chris Evans (b. June 13, 1981) is best known for portraying a pair of Marvel Comics superheroes on the big screen: first appearing as Johnny Storm (The Human Torch) in the Fantastic Four movies, and then as Captain America in Captain America : The First Avenger, and in the upcoming Avengers Movie.

Christopher Robert Evans was born in Boston, Massachusetts and raised in the Boston suburb of Sudbury after his family moved when he was eleven years old. As a teen at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School, Chris Evans found success as an actor after receiving significant encouragement from his theater arts teacher. Gaining his initial acting experiences in high school plays and in the local theater, Evans pursued his passion for acting and moved to New York City, where he enrolled in the famous Lee Strasberg Theater Institute. While in New York, Chris Evans landed an internship at a acting casting office, where he became friends with an agent

Chris Evans' first significant role in front of a camera came with an appearances as an actor on an episode of the CBS remake,"The Fugitive" ( 2000-01). A bigger opportunity came when Chris Evans landed a spot as a murder suspect in the popular high school drama series on Fox TV, "Boston Public" (2000-04). That job led to his first major film role in the comedy film, "Not Another Teen Movie" (2001).

Chris Evans' career proceeded with a series of minor roles in mostly forgettable movies, until 2005, when he was chosen to play Johnny Storm, also known as The Human Torch, in the first of two Fantastic Four movies. This role earned him some attention, and he was later picked to portray Captain America in Captain America: First Avenger. When chosen to play Steve "Cap" Rogers, Evans was basically signed to play the role in two Captain America films as well as the much anticipated (by comics fanboys the world over), The Avengers.
