Chris Evans’ mother ran a youth theater.

Born in Boston, Evans got into acting when he was a child, most likely with help from his mother, who was the artistic director of a local youth theater. He went from performing skits with his siblings to going to acting camp and eventually attending summer classes at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York City.

At 15, Evans got his first film role in an educational film Biodiversity: Wild About Life, produced by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service National Conservation Training Center. He moved to Los Angeles in 2000 when he was 19 and got his first gigs on television in the film Newcomers, followed by a lead role in the TV series Opposite Sex.

Movie roles followed, including Not Another Teen Movie in 2001 and Cellular in 2004, where he co-starred alongside Jason Statham, Kim Basinger, and William H. Macy.

Chris Evans was the Human Torch in Marvel’s Fantastic Four.

Although Evans appeared in several movies in his early career, he really found his niche in Marvel. His first Marvel movie role was as Johnny Storm, the Human Torch, in the 2005 movie Fantastic Four. He also appeared in the sequel, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, in 2007.

While critics may have panned Evans in some of his other movie roles, they loved him as a superhero. “Evans gives a charismatic breakout performance,” Joe Leydon, film critic for Variety, wrote in 2005.

When the role of Captain America was offered to Evans, he passed on it twice. But after having conversations with Iron Man actor Robert Downey Jr., and a therapist, Evans accepted the role, reports The Hollywood Reporter.
