biography

Illustrious Shakespearean and Shavian actor who brought the classics to the masses with his Broadway performances, his numerous wartime productions and peacetime tours and his well-regarded presentations on TV's "Hallmark Hall of Fame" during the 1950s and 60s.

In films from 1930, Evans is probably best known to contemporary audiences as the inquisitor Zaius in the "Planet of the Apes" films and as Elizabeth Montgomery's warlock father, Maurice on TV's "Bewitched" (1964-72).
