Chris Evans grew up in Boston, son of a
dentist and a dancer. In high school,
he decided he wanted to pursue acting, and went
to New York the summer after his junior year where
he interned at a casting office and took a summer
acting program. An agent he met that summer later
helped him get his start after he finished high
school. He had bit parts on various TV dramas like
"Boston Public" before scoring major feature film roles.
