Chris Evans

Actor, also producer and director · Born June 13, 1981 (45) · Boston, Massachusetts, USA

Critics Choice Award nominee

Christopher Robert Evans (born June 13, 1981) is an American actor. He gained worldwide recognition for portraying Steve Rogers / Captain America in various Marvel Cinematic Universe films, from Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) to Avengers: Secret Wars (2027). His work in the franchise established him as one of the world's highest-paid actors. Evans's films as a leading actor, particularly in the franchise, have grossed $11.4 billion worldwide, making him one of the highest-grossing film stars of all time. He began his career with roles in television series, including Opposite Sex in 2000. Following appearances in several teen films, including 2001's Not Another Teen Movie, he gained further attention for his portrayal of Marvel Comics character the Human Torch in Fantastic Four (2005) and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007), which he later reprised in Deadpool & Wolverine (2024). Evans made further appearances in film adaptations of comic books and graphic novels: TMNT (2007), Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010), and Snowpiercer (2013). Aside from comic book roles, Evans has starred in the drama Gifted (2017), the mystery film Knives Out (2019), the television miniseries Defending Jacob (2020), and the action films The Gray Man (2022) and Red One (2024). He also voiced Buzz Lightyear in Lightyear (2022) and Lucas Lee in the animated series Scott Pilgrim Takes Off (2023), reprising his live-action role. Evans made his directorial debut in 2014 with the romantic drama Before We Go, which he also produced and starred in. Evans made his Broadway debut in the 2018 revival of Kenneth Lonergan's play Lobby Hero, which earned him a Drama League Award nomination.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
