brief biography written by Evan himself
(note: The below information is sent to the site by Evan. You are free to use it as long as you give me the credit I deserve. Thank you.)
"Ok, so here's a brief history... I was born in Asmara Ethiopia (my dad went to VMI and served his four years there instead of Vietnam) I went to High school in Towson Maryland and College at Tulane. The Fantasticks Bio covers some of the work I've done but some points of interest are that I did the voices of the Backstreet boys on Celebrity Death Match, and toured with the "Backstreet Boys of Russia" in `97 in Russia's most sucessful band to date called Na-Na. I just finished a small part in the re-make of the Film "Shaft" with Samuel Jackson due out on July 4th (don't blink or you'll miss me in the opening scene!) I'm not sure if you knew this as well, but track 7 of the 2gether album I actually wrote with Nigel (using some of the Gunn cousins lyrics - they wrote the movie) which is the song I sing at the beginning of the movie when I get "discovered" by Bob Buss. OK, I think that's more than one person should ever mention about themselves at one time..... but since I can't send any pictures, I hoped that would suffice."
