An American actor best known for his smart alec and pretty boy type roles which include the desperate
everyman protagonist Ryan in the terribly fun
Cellular, Johnny Storm aka The Human Torch in the
Fantastic Four movies, and "Harvard Hottie" in
The Nanny Diaries. He's usually considered the best part of whatever bad movie he is in.
Though he's never shied away from more serious roles (
Sunshine,
Push,
London), it was still a great surprise to the mainstream public when Marvel announced him as their choice to play the strait-laced and serious minded
Captain America in their
Marvel universe movies.
Not to be confused with the British DJ and TV presenter of the same nameFilms
