Evans, Hemsworth, or Pine? Trick question: Pine’s the one in Star Trek. See? The heroic Caucasian actors named Chris aren’t always easy to tell apart. But you’d think their team-mates on the Avengers would be able to do so. Better than us, anyway.
MTV News decided to put that to the test with a game called “Know Your Chris.” With some nice custom-made paddles sporting large photos of messrs. Pratt, Hemsworth, and Evans–these will probably be in high-demand on eBay later–the method of play was simple. Hear a surprising fact about someone in the cast, and then choose which Chris it refers to. It turns out the actors maybe don’t have as many casual conversations with one another as you might expect.
Like, really, how hard is it to know which one is tallest? Probably all of you reading this would guess correctly. But others, to be fair, are a little more difficult, and that nifty footage MTV secured of Dancing With the Stars, featuring one of the Chris’s before Marvel fame had hit, is quite something. But do you know which one speaks German, or sings West Side Story tunes? At least one of those skills will be demonstrated.
On a side note, why is everyone wearing name tags? Is it just to make everyone feel better that the Chris’s are interchangeable? Is anybody going to go, “Oh, Dave! Good thing you had that name tag, because I might have confused you with some other 300-pound pro wrestler with tattoos all over his body that’s also in this movie”? And just how crispy is Chris P?
