Chris Evans (actor)
Encyclopedia : C : CH : CHR : Chris Evans (actor)
-->Christopher Robert Evans (born June 13, 1981) is an American actor.
Evans was born in Sudbury, Massachusetts to a dentist father and a dancer mother; he is of Irish and Italian descent and is a Catholic.[link]
Evans decided he wanted to be a professional actor during his junior year of high school. He interned at a casting office in New York during the following summer while also taking acting lessons. During that summer he met an agent who helped him start his acting career by getting him a role in the TV series Opposite Sex. However it was his starring role in the 2001 comedy film Not Another Teen Movie that brought him major attention. The film contained a somewhat notorious spoof of Varsity Blues movie, where (to attract the attention of a girl) Evans entered the room wearing nothing more than whipped cream around his nipples and crotch, with a banana sticking out of his backside. After this film Evans went on to co-star in films such as The Perfect Score, Cellular and London. However, Evans is perhaps best known for starring in 2005's Fantastic Four as Johnny "Human Torch" Storm. The film was a surprise international hit. Evans had been dating 7th Heaven actress Jessica Biel since 2002, and until 2006.
Some of his most recent projects include roles in the films Sunshine and Fierce People, both of which are forthcoming releases. He is also going to reprise his role of Johnny Storm in a Fantastic Four sequel.
