You and a friend will have the chance to Zoom with actor and singer Luke Evans!
Welsh actor Luke Evans has made a powerful impression in Hollywood solidifying his status as a leading man across all genres. Most recently, Evans appeared in Hulu’s limited series Nine Perfect Strangers, based on Big Little Lies author Liane Moriarty’s book of the same name. David E. Kelley, Bruna Papandrea’s Made Up Stories, Nicole Kidman’s Blossom Films, and Endeavor Content produced the 8-episode series, which takes place at a boutique health-and-wellness resort that promises healing and transformation as nine stressed city dwellers try to get on a path to a better way of living. Evans plays ‘Lars,’ one of the nine “perfect” strangers. The series, also starring Nicole Kidman, Melissa McCarthy, Bobby Cannavale, Regina Hall, and Michael Shannon, premiered on August 18, 2021, as the most-watched Hulu original ever.
Evans is currently in production on Apple’s action-thriller drama series, Echo 3, which is set to release in 2022. The 10-part series takes place in South America and follows Amber Chesborough, a brilliant young scientist, who is the emotional center of a small American family. When she goes missing along the Colombia-Venezuela border, her brother, and her husband (Evans)— two men with deep military experience and complicated pasts — struggle to find her in a layered, personal drama, set against the explosive backdrop of a secret war. Mark Boal serves as the showrunner alongside co-showrunner and director Pablo Trapero.
Up next, Evans will play ‘The Coachman’ in Robert Zemeckis’ live-action retelling of Pinocchio for Disney+. Tom Hanks is set to star as ‘Geppetto.’ Evans will also reprise his role as ‘Gaston’ alongside Josh Gad’s ‘LeFou” for Disney’s Beauty and the Beast prequel series for the Disney + streaming service. Evans will also serve as an executive producer on the limited series, which will be a 6-episode musical event.
Earlier this year, Evans starred in The Pembrokeshire Murders, a three-part ITV drama series based on a true story. Evans portrayed Welsh police officer ‘Steve Wilkins,” who in 2006 reopened two unsolved double murders from the 1980s
