Chris Evans time!

Aww lookit that face. I think Chris Evans is slowly becoming my second favorite actor. He'll never be my first favorite, but considering Sir Ian Mckellen is the one residing in #1, it's pretty dang good to get that high up. I first saw him in 'Not Another Teen Movie' when it first came out, with my friend Samantha. I remember, at the time, being so fascinated by his hair, it was so obviously dyed. He was pretty funny in that movie, and then I forgot about him. When he played Johnny Storm in the Fantastic Four series, I took notice of him, and I adore his protrayal of Johnny Storm. Maybe loving the movies isn't something to admit openly, not to comic book fans, but you know what? I consider the movies different from canon, an interpretation, so I can love both the comic and the movie versions. But anyways, I found his Johnny spot on. And then for a while, I only liked him as Johnny. And considering his role in Not Another Teen Movie, I started to think of him as a..I don't recall the term for an actor that only does one thing, but I considered him a one trick pony, he was GOOD at what he did, but I thought all he could do was comedy. When I heard he was going to play Captain America, I was concerned, because although I like Chris Evans and although I like Captain America, I couldn't get the image of well.. Johnny Storm as Steve Rogers out of my head. I thought perhaps he'd already been type cast. Then I caught the tail end of 'Cellular" and his role in that movie, well, it proved he could do drama just as well as comedy, and when The Losers came out, I'd already resolved to see it because it had Jeffery Dean Morgan and Zoe Saladana in it, he was just icing.
Well, he was the best part of the movie! At least for me. He was funny and dramatic and had the character down pat. Seriously, I was impressed. So now I've got Sunshine and Fierce People, and I plan to watch them to see how well he did those roles, and I am actually looking forward to seeing his portrayal of Steve Rogers/Captain America.
I might even go see Scott Pilgrim Vs The World since he's in it. I'm really leaning towards it.
Even though Michael Ceras is the star. I'm sorry but he creeps me out, always has since Arrested Development.
