How Captain America Met Kendall Roy In Sudbury

SUDBURY, MA — A New Yorker profile of actor Jeremy Strong released this week details how the "Succession" star hung out with Chris Evans during their high school days in Sudbury.

The profile goes into detail about how Strong moved with his family from Boston's Jamaica Plain neighborhood to Sudbury ("I had never seen a Mercedes-Benz before," he says of the move). After moving to MetroWest, Strong got involved in the Concord Youth Theatre, where Evans' sister also performed.

Evans and Strong would go on to act together in a high school production of "A Midsummer Night’s Dream." Years later when Evans broke into Hollywood in 2001's "Not Another Teen Movie," Strong reached out to his former Lincoln-Sudbury classmate for help getting an agent, according to the profile.

Strong now stars as Kendall Roy in the HBO series "Succession." Evans portrayed Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and recently starred in "Knives Out," which was filmed in nearby towns including Natick, Marlborough, Medfield and Lincoln.
