Scott Evans was born September 21, 1983, and raised in Sudbury, Massachusetts.[1] His parents are Bob Evans, a dentist, and Lisa (née Capuano) Evans, a dancer[4][5] and later artistic director at the Concord Youth Theater.[6] He has two sisters, Carly and Shanna,[4] and an older brother, actor Chris Evans.
Scott Evans studied theatre at New York University.[2][3][7] He is openly gay, having come out at age 19.[8]
Evans began playing the recurring role of police officer Oliver Fish on One Life to Live on January 15, 2008.[9] 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."[2] 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.[2] 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 a recurring role on the One Life to Live since 1995, was replaced after reportedly voicing personal religious objections to her character's involvement in his storyline.[10] 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.[citation needed]
In 2022, Evans played Darren Hayes' love interest in the music video for "Let's Try Being in Love".[11]
