Evans is the younger brother of Fantastic Four actor Chris Evans. Born in Massachussetts to a theatrical family, the younger Evans studied theatre at New York University and made his on-screen debut in 2008 in CBS soap opera Guiding Light. His first notable role came the following year when he portrayed Chad the Mail Clerk in Confessions of a Shopaholic, a rom-com that grossed over $100 million worldwide. Between 2014 and 2016, he was part of Go-Go Boy Interrupted, an LGBTQ sketch show that he produced numerous episodes of and appeared in as himself.
In 2017, Evans stuck with comedy when he appeared in several episodes of VH1’s Daytime Divas, a satirical comedy about what goes on behind the scenes on daytime television. The following year, he joined the cast of Grace & Frankie alongside the likes of Friends star Lisa Kudrow, RuPaul, and Peter Gallagher. He has also recently made guest appearances in several other series, including Into the Dark and Insecure.
