Chris Evans
Chris Evans is an American actor known for playing Captain America/Steve Rogers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. His stint as the comic book superhero began with Captain America: The First Avenger. He reprised the role in nearly a dozen Hollywood blockbusters, from The Avengers to Avengers: Endgame.
Evans has also appeared in well-received non-Marvel films, such as Knives Out, Gifted, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, and Snowpiercer. But his big break in the MCU catapulted him to superstardom and garnered him tens of millions of followers on social media.
In addition, he has dabbled in producing and directing. For instance, he executive-produced the 2020 TV miniseries Defending Jacob and the 2014 movies Playing It Cool and Before We Go, which he also directed.
Evans also uses his celebrity status to shine a spotlight on political topics. In 2017, he co-founded the nonpartisan civic engagement website A Starting Point to inform American voters about political issues.
