===Career===

After completing his junior year in high school, Evans traveled to New York where he interned at a casting agency and took a summer acting program. That same summer he met an agent that helped him get his start in acting after completing high school. Evans had small parts on television series such as ''[[Boston Public]]'' and ''[[The Fugitive (2000 TV series)|The Fugitive]]'' and a role in the TV series ''[[Opposite Sex (TV series)|Opposite Sex]]'' before landing his first notable role as Jake Wyler in ''[[Not Another Teen Movie]]''. The film contained a somewhat notorious spoof of the ''[[Varsity Blues (film)|Varsity Blues]]'' movie, where (to attract the attention of a girl) Evans entered the room wearing nothing more than whipped cream and cherries covering his nipples and crotch, and a banana sticking out of his buttocks.

After filming wrapped on ''Not Another Teen Movie'', Evans landed several more lead roles in ''[[The Perfect Score]]'' and ''[[Cellular (film)|Cellular]]''. He also starred in a few independent films where audiences got to see a different side to Evans. In ''[[London (2005 film)|London]]'', Evans played a strung out drug user with relationship problems. He was then chosen to play the [[the Human Torch|Human Torch]] in the 2005 [[Fantastic four|comic book]] adaptation ''[[Fantastic Four (2005 film)|Fantastic Four]]''. Evans has worked opposite some of the biggest names in Hollywood, including [[Kim Basinger]], [[Diane Lane]], [[Scarlett Johansson]], [[William H. Macy]] and [[Donald Sutherland]]. He was named 'Male Superstar of Tomorrow' at the 2005 Young Hollywood Awards. Recently, Evans reprised the role of Johnny Storm/The Human Torch in the sequel ''[[Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer]]'', and as the engineer Mace in [[Danny Boyle]]'s sci-fi film ''[[Sunshine (2007 film)|Sunshine]]''.

In 2008, Evans played Diskant in ''[[Street Kings (film)|Street Kings]]'', co-starring [[Keanu Reeves]], and will appear as Jimmy in ''The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond'', co-starring [[Bryce Dallas Howard]], [[Ellen Burstyn]] and [[David Strathairn]]. The latter is based on a play created by [[Tennessee Williams]]. Evans is also working on a supernatural [[thriller (genre)|thriller]], ''[[Push (film)|Push]]'', along with [[Dakota Fanning]] and [[Camilla Belle]].

===Personal life===

Evans long-term relationship was with actress [[Jessica Biel]] from 2001 to June of 2006. The two of them starred in two movies together, "London" and "Cellular". Ironically, they play ex-boyfriend and ex-girlfriend in both films. Evans has also been linked to actresses [[Christina Ricci]], [[Emmy Rossum]] and [[Minka Kelly]] and Brazillian supermodel, [[Gisele Bundchen]].<ref name="evansref1"/>
