Born and raised in the Boston area, Chris Evans landed his first major film role in the spoof Not Another Teen Movie. He played the Human Torch in two Fantastic Four flicks, but it was his turn as another superhero that propelled him to fame in the enormously successful Captain America and The Avengers blockbusters. Evans also earned acclaim for his performance in the dystopian Snowpiercer, and made a well-received Broadway debut in 2018.
In July 2011, Evans joined the burgeoning Marvel Cinematic Universe empire with Captain America: The First Avenger. As Steve Rogers, the scrawny but dutiful serviceman who undergoes a massive physical transformation to become the titular super soldier, Evans capably displayed the earnestness central to his character, along with the eye-popping physique and fighting skills requisite for a modern action star.
The First Avenger was just the start of the MCU run for Evans, who joined Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man, Chris Hemsworth's Thor and other big-name actors, both in and out of costume, for the superhero blockbuster The Avengers (2012). Evans went on to headline the sequels of his own Captain America franchise with The Winter Soldier (2014) and Civil War (2016), while also leading the charge for The Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) and surfacing in other Marvel features, like Ant-Man (2015) and Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017).
Initially reluctant to wield the Captain's shield due to the extended commitment, Evans was ready to move on by the time his contract drew to a close, with Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and a yet-to-be titled follow-up, scheduled for a 2019 release, expected to be his final performances as America's super solider.
Evans' first major film role came in Not Another Teen Movie (2001), a spoof of high school dramas like She's All That (1999) and earlier predecessors. As football star Jake Wyler, he follows the formulaic procedure of accepting a bet to date the nerdy, glasses-wearing girl, delivering a silly highlight by squirting on the whipped cream bikini made famous by Ali Larter in Varsity Blues (1999).
He followed with another high school comedy, The Perfect Score (2004), as part of a group of students who steal the answers to an SAT exam, and then the action-thriller Cellular (2004), where he showed his future leading man chops by helping to rescue Kim Basinger from her captors.
