Evans was 16 years old at the time, and he didn't land another role until the Fox miniseries "Opposite Sex" in 2000.
His father is a dentist.
Evans' pearly whites aren't Hollywood magic, they're the real deal thanks to his father.
"I'm a very lucky guy, my father is a dentist," Evans told Jimmy Fallon on his show in 2011 . "So I was very lucky because I looked like the village idiot growing up like my teeth were trying to escape my face."
Evans added that, later on, he got clear braces to help correct his smile.
His younger brother, Scott Evans, is also an actor.
Although relatively lesser known than his superstar brother, Scott Evans is also an actor.
According to IMDb , Scott has appeared in small roles on TV shows like Fox's "Fringe," NBC's "Law and Order: Criminal Intent," and USA's "White Collar."
More recently, he played Oliver on Netflix's "Grace and Frankie" and starred in the comedy "Almost Love" (2019).
His on-set nickname was "Captain Little Ass."
During a 2014 interview with Entertainment Tonight , Evans said his on-set Marvel nickname was "Captain Little Ass," and it was given to him by Anthony "Falcon Big Butt" Mackie.
The pet name was meant to be a joke about his hardcore fitness routine and subsequent physique.
He has worked with many of his "Avengers" coworkers outside of the franchise.
Before they starred together in "The Avengers," Evans and Scarlett Johansson worked together on "The Perfect Score" (2004) and "The Nanny Diaries" (2007)
He appeared in a film called "The Losers" (2010) with Marvel stars Zoe Saldana and Idris Elba.
And in 2011, he starred alongside Anna Faris in "What's Your Number." At the time, Faris was married to Chris Pratt, so Pratt made a cameo in the film as "Disgusting Donald."
He also appeared in "Snowpiercer" (2013) with Tilda Swinton, and he starred alongside Mackie in "Playing it Cool" (2014) the same year "Captain America: The Winter Soldier " was released.
Evans was replaced by Michael B. Jordan in the remake of "Fantastic Four" (2015).
In 2015, the series was rebooted and Michael B. Jordan was cast in Evans' role as the Human Torch.
In 2014, there were reports the two dated, but Bullock jokingly dismissed them by telling Entertainment Tonight that she and Evans already got married and divorced.
Evans wanted to be a Disney animator when he was a kid.
Evans became a fixture in the Disney family when he landed the role of Captain America, but the star has been a lifelong fan of the company's movies, characters, and theme parks.
During a 2016 interview with Oh My Disney, he listed off his favorite Disney snack (Mickey Ice Cream Bar), attraction (Space Mountain), and character (Mickey Mouse).
Although that dream didn't come true, he did voice Buzz Lightyear in "Lightyear" (2022).
He almost turned down the role of Captain America before his mom convinced him to go for it.
In a 2020 interview with Esquire earlier this year, Evans' mom Lisa Evans shared that she had to convince him to take the role of Captain America.
When he turned Marvel down at first, he said it was because he didn't want to become "can't-go-outside famous."
"His biggest fear was losing his anonymity," Lisa recalled. "He said, 'I have a career now where I can do work I really like. I can walk my dog. Nobody bothers me. Nobody wants to talk to me. I can go wherever I want. And the idea of losing that is terrifying to me.'"
However, she eventually talked him into taking the role.
"I said to him, 'Look, you want to do acting work for the rest of your life? If you do this part, you will have the opportunity,'" she said.
He has a matching tattoo with most of the original Avengers.
