Chris Evans Says Captain America Role <br />Was the 'Best Decision' He's Ever Made Evans has portrayed Steve Rogers <br />and his alter-ego, Captain America, <br />in 11 Marvel movies to date. Evans said he initially turned down the opportunity to <br />test for the part because he had been suffering from <br />"panic attacks" while working on 'Puncture' in 2010. He believed his anxiety would <br />prevent him from doing a good job. Chris Evans, on <br />'Awards Chatter' podcast Evans turned down a testing opportunity several times <br />before Marvel came back to him, this time offering him <br />the part outright with no need to screen test. He then consulted with fellow Marvel star <br />Robert Downey Jr. who urged him not to <br />make a major decision based on fear. Evans finally decided to say yes, <br />and a decade later, he's confident <br />he made the right choice. Chris Evans, on <br />'Awards Chatter' podcast
