Early life and personal life

Scott Andrew Evans was born September 21, 1983, and raised in Sudbury, Massachusetts.

He has two sisters, Carly and Shanna, and an older brother, actor Chris Evans. His father is of Welsh, English, Scottish, and German descent, while his mother is of half Irish and half Italian descent.

Evans began acting as a child in local theater productions in Massachusetts. He attended Lincoln-Sudbury High School.

Career

Evans began playing the recurring role of police officer Oliver Fish on One Life to Live on January 15, 2008. He subsequently appeared briefly on Guiding Light as Trey in 2008, and guest-starred as Woody Sage in the June 22, 2008 Law and Order: Criminal Intent episode "Betrayed" as well as the role of Ben in the October 21, 2008, Fringe episode "The Cure." Evans was also seen as Chad the Mail Clerk in the 2009 film Confessions of a Shopaholic.

Initially brought in to One Life to Live for five episodes, Evans returned for a total of 137 episodes. In July 2009, his character Oliver Fish became involved in a romantic relationship with Kyle Lewis. The storyline came to wider attention when Patricia Mauceri, an actress who had played the recurring role of Carlotta Vega on the One Life to Live since 1995, was replaced after reportedly voicing personal religious objections to her character's involvement in his storyline. The storyline on One Life to Live was dropped and both Scott and Brett were let go in 2010. Evans also had a guest role on the AMC series Rubicon as an American involved in a serious terrorist attack with al-Qaeda.

In 2022, Evans played Darren Hayes' love interest in the music video for "Let's Try Being in Love". In 2023, he played a Western-themed Ken in Barbie.

In June 2024, Deadline announced that Evans had been cast in Mindy Kaling's forthcoming series Running Point.
