## Career

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."

Initially brought in to One Life to Live for five episodes, Evans returned for a total of 137 episodes. 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 the recurring role of Carlotta Vega on the One Life to Live since 1995, was replaced after reportedly voicing personal religious objections to her character's involvement in his storyline. 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.
In 2022, Evans played Darren Hayes' love interest in the music video for "Let's Try Being in Love". In 2023, he played a Western-themed Ken in Barbie.
