In one of his skits, he said he is very committed to his Irish roots.
“James Joyce spent a lot of his time living outside of Ireland; I, too, have spent a lot of time living outside of Ireland. But it doesn’t make me any less Irish,” he joked. “I’m so committed in fact that I will continue to drive on the left-hand side of the road.”

Evans started his career on the television series, Opposite Sex. Before he was known as Steve Rogers or Captain American, he was the Human Torch in Fantastic Four and its 2007 sequel.
