I would know JDM's face from Grey's but not his name. I would know Zoe's name from all the avatar press, but not her face. Would not know the name Chris Evans and the images from the movie didn't ping me as the same guy from FF.
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

while I love Chris Evans more, I find Sam Worthington more aesthetically interesting.
I'm so glad CE got to do The Losers, even if it did have me pining for Ryan Reynolds. I can only hope that SW gets a U.S. role that allows for a similar energy level. The three roles I've seen him in really haven't. T4 was such an overall disappointment, but he was still the most fascinating character for me in that. In Avatar Sully was half-dead without his legs and only gained a personality when in Na'avi form, and Clash of the Titans was more generic blah blah.
But CE has this weird ability to be invisible and even homely or geeky while still being this classic good-looking guy. He's pretty, yet manages to not be OMG!!! SW, as I've probably said before, is just refreshing to look at in a zen-like way for me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I know he's geek because he thought I meant Airbender when I said Avatar, but he did think Zoe was amazing when he worked out who she was. As for Chris Evans, he admitted he barely remembered anyone other than Alba from FF. Hmmph.

I think CE is as all-that as you can get in the Ryan Reynolds school of things without being Ryan himself. I adore him.

Both. I adore both. But RR maybe a leetle more. But CE is less one-note than RR.
And as for those who were worried about CE's size for the Avengers (craxy talk!)? Dude wasn't small in Push. Also, thank you movie people for the arm porn during the faux golf scene in The Losers.

Because books.
I think you people are the only reason I know who CE is. I never saw FF, I never saw Push or Cellular. It's osmosis, I tell you.
And yet, I knew who he was, and he also looked adorably familiar in the ads.

Yeah, so far I'd say Chris is the actor with more range but Ryan is prettier and maybe funnier. I just love them both. But I might respect CE more in the morning.
Did I type that out loud?

When you say Chris Evans, I think Chris Owens, the guy who played young CSM.
