| 3 | Maurice Herbert Evans (3 June 1901 – 12 March 1989) was a British actor. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | He gained fame in his native country for his performances in Creator/WilliamShakespeare plays, embodying the grand [[LargeHam larger-than-life]] tradition of Shakespearean acting (in contrast to the more subtle stylings of his contemporaries Creator/LaurenceOlivier and Creator/JohnGielgud). After moving to America he continued his Shakespeare work in a series of TV productions, but also took other acting roles, which have proven to be his most enduring work, most memorably as Dr. Zaius in in the first two ''Franchise/PlanetOfTheApes'' films and as Samantha Stephens's father Maurice in the sitcom ''Series/{{Bewitched}}''. |
