Whether it’s at home or on a flight, Evans carries his iPad to read up on his movie and TV projects. “It’s the quickest, easiest, and most eco-friendly way of reading scripts,” Evans says. “Most of the time, the scripts just come and go, and you end up with piles of paper.”
But he’s not reading his scripts electronically because he’s vying for the role of real-life Captain Planet—Evans also learned the hard way that it’s just the more secure alternative when traveling from his home to a car to an airplane to a hotel and all the way back. “I remember screen testing for a very big movie many, many years ago, and they flew me [from London] to Los Angeles. I was still not great on long flights, and by the time I landed 12 hours later, I looked like a zombie getting off the plane,” he says. “I left the script on the plane—it had my name and ‘Property of 20th Century Fox’ all over it—and I thought, I’m never going to work again! Somehow, luckily, it never got into the wrong hands.”
