He began his acting career in 1997 with a role in a short educational film and gained early recognition for his performance in the 2000 television series Opposite Sex. He rose to mainstream fame in 2005 for portraying the Human Torch in Fantastic Four and its 2007 sequel. He is best known for playing Steve Rogers / Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), starting with Captain America: The First Avenger in 2011 and continuing through multiple films, including Avengers: Endgame in 2019. His performance in the MCU established him as one of the world's highest-paid actors, and his films as a leading actor have grossed $11.4 billion worldwide, making him one of the highest-grossing film stars of all time. He has also starred in films such as Knives Out (2019), Gifted (2017), The Gray Man (2022), and Red One (2024), and voiced Buzz Lightyear in Lightyear (2022). Evans made his directorial debut in 2014 with Before We Go, which he also produced and starred in, and made his Broadway debut in 2018 in the revival of Lobby Hero, earning a Drama League Award nomination. He is married to actress Alba Baptista, whom he wed in 2023, and they have one child together.

The second is Chris Evans (presenter), an English television presenter, radio DJ, and producer born on April 1, 1966, in Warrington, England. He began his broadcasting career in the 1980s, working for Piccadilly Radio in Manchester before moving to London, where he gained prominence as a presenter on BBC Radio London and Channel 4's The Big Breakfast. He became a major star through his work on TFI Friday (1996–2000; 2015) and The One Show (2010–15), and later hosted Top Gear from 2016. He is known for his irreverent style, which attracted high ratings but also generated numerous complaints.
