9th.<br />

In Fall 2010, Evans returned to his British roots, portraying the lead role of ‘Andy’ in<br />

acclaimed director Stephen Frears’ Tamara Drewe, based on the hugely successful<br />

Guardian newspaper comic strip and graphic novel by the same name. Following an<br />

exciting reception at the Cannes Film Festival last May, this romantic comedy told the<br />

story of a young newspaper reporter (Gemma Arterton) who returned to the town she<br />

grew up in as her family sold her childhood home. Evans earned many fans and turned<br />

the heads of critics and journalists both stateside and internationally for his charming<br />

performance.<br />

Upcoming, Evans will star as music maestro ‘Antonio Vivaldi’ opposite Jessica Biel’s<br />

‘Anna Tessieri Giro’ in the period romance Vivaldi, directed by Patricia Riggen and<br />

produced by Raffaella de Laurentiis. Vivaldi will follow the forbidden romance between<br />

the two that eventually leads to the creation of the masterpiece, The Four Seasons.<br />

Evans has also signed on to play an American in Paris who has been framed for a<br />

murder in writer/director Ross Katz’s 2012 film, The Amateur American.<br />

Evans recently completed his second turn with director Mat Whitecross in the<br />

contemporary film noir, Ashes. He will begin his next project, No One Lives, directed by<br />

Ryuhei Kitamura in Summer 2011 in New Orleans, LA. The film tells the story of a<br />

ruthless gang of killers who are surprised by their victims’ resistance. Following No One<br />

Lives, Evan will begin filming his role of ‘Bard the Bowman’ in Peter Jackson’s The<br />

Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, in theaters December 14, 2012.<br />

Prior to his film career, Evans had successfully carved out an enviable stage career<br />

starring in West End plays and musicals such as "La Cava,” Boy George’s “Taboo,”<br />

“Avenue Q,” “Dickens Unplugged,” “A Girl Called Dusty,” and, at the acclaimed Donmar<br />

Warehouse, “Small Change” and “Piaf.” His powerful, trained voice and engaging stage<br />

presence made him the perfect choice for leading roles such as 'Chris' in “Miss Saigon”<br />

and ‘Roger’ in “Rent.”<br />

Evans made his UK feature film debut in the role of ‘Clive’ in the 2009 British<br />

Independent Film Academy nominated feature Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll,”Mat<br />

Whitecross’s biopic of the London punk-rock scene founder Ian Dury of Ian Dury and the<br />

Blockheads. It was Warner Brothers’ action/fantasy/drama Clash of the Titans, however,<br />

that put Evans on the map, where he portrayed the charismatic god, ‘Apollo.’<br />

After Clash of the Titans, Evans was next seen in the Ridley Scott remake of Robin<br />

Hood, playing the Sheriff's head henchman to Russell Crowe’s interpretation of ‘Robin<br />

Hood.’<br />

Without a doubt, Evans has solidified his place in the film world, having had his career<br />

already span a multitude of genres and a variety of substantial roles in less than three<br />

years. Evans currently lives in London.<br />
