Jeff Evans(1946-2022)
- Actor
- Stunts
Born and raised in Central Ohio, with a seven year move to Torrance, California as a child, Jeff returned to Ohio to finish high school and served two years with the U.S. Army. After obtaining an education in computer programming he pursued a career in I.T. and relocated to Athens, Georgia in 1979. That's where he stumbled into a theater one night, fell in love with acting and sixty-nine productions later it remains close to his heart. Roles such as Sweeney Todd, Captain Von Trapp, Emile DeBecque in South Pacific, Rev. Shaw Moore in Footloose, Shelley LeVene in Glengarry Glen Ross and Daddy Warbucks in Annie.
While living in Georgia for thirty years he also managed to become part of the doctor's staff on "In the Heat of the Night" filmed in Covington, Georgia just outside Atlanta. Add a featured part in "Love Potion Number 9" and "Made in Heaven" and a slew of industrial and safety videos and his varied career was off and running.
Jeff moved to Orlando in 2010, just when the "business" moved to Georgia, but they say good comedy is in the timing. Now in Orlando the work continues with over twenty five independent and short films and even more theater.
He has also performed on radio, as a game show host for corporate events and emcee for multiple banquets and awards ceremonies. In his spare time he's writing his second book and plays the bagpipes.
