Close friend of director
George Cukor, who frequently cast Evans in his
films, often uncredited.
Greta Garbo asked Cukor, on the set of
Camille (1936), "Who is that big man, and what part is he playing?" Cukor replied,
"He's playing the part of a friend who needs a job." He appeared in ten
of Cukor's films, counting Evans' appearance in Cukor's uncredited work
on
Lust for Life (1956).
