Distinguishing Feature: Looked nothing like the original Lionel,
Mike Evans, whom he replaced until Evans' return in 1979. ''I never
even met him.''
Moving On Out: ''Very few people know this, but I
begged Norman Lear to let me out of my contract. My attitude was so
bad by the end of the second season that it was an
'I-quit-no-you're-fired' scenario.''
Life After Cancellation: Evans,
42, has lived in London since 1989, singing opera. ''I don't think
it's any surprise that my success has come in countries where The
Jeffersons is no longer shown. I have no desire to come back to
America. But send my love to Roxie (Roker) and Isabel (Sanford).''
Other Classic Sons: Billy Gray as Father Knows Best's Bud Anderson,
Demond Wilson as Sanford and Son's Lamont, Ron Howard as Happy Days'
Richie Cunningham.
