 Re: Chris Evans wants to quit acting and be a director
So, for his directorial debut, he cast himself as the romantic, salt-of-the-earth street musician who, in just one night, shows the sexy blonde businesswoman there is more to life than schedules and professional ambitions.
Listen closely for the sound of critics sharpening their knives.

Except none of them has quit acting.

 Re: Chris Evans wants to quit acting and be a director
While I don't necessarily doubt that his real passion is directing, the whole "quitting acting" thing almost seems like he's positioning himself for future Marvel negotiations.

 Re: Chris Evans wants to quit acting and be a director
Chris Evans brings little to the table as Captain America. It could be played by almost anyone else.

 Re: Chris Evans wants to quit acting and be a director
If this is for real and not a negotiation tactic: it will probably follow the standard "quit, fail, national joke, obscurity, miracle of scoring lead on hit network crime procedural" pattern, ala David Caruso.

Who knows? Would you have expected Ben Affleck to have a career he has right now as a director?

 Re: Chris Evans wants to quit acting and be a director
The question is, did Chris Evans really ever take up acting in the first place?
