It is clear that artists manage, through their work, to delight thousands and even millions of people through a screen. Some of them, as in the case of actors, will be remembered for the quality of their performances in their roles. This is even more true if their professionalism allows them to have a long career in which they can appear in a large number of films and series, both on the big screen and on television.
However, when these public personalities, who have worked for so long, pass away, they leave a great void and sadness in the hearts of all their followers. This, unfortunately, is what has happened with Art Evans. The American actor has died at the age of 82.
The performer reportedly died on December 21, 2024. The actor may not have had major roles and was more focused on being the supporting character. However, he managed to get many people to focus more on him than on the protagonist of the plot.
Some of the films that had the greatest impact on Evans' career were: 'Die Hard 2', alongside Bruce Willis, 'Ruthless People', with the great Danny DeVito, and 'Trading Places', with Eddie Murphy.
Art Evans has worked on more than 120 film and television projects
However, his career is not limited to three or four feature films. Art Evans has appeared in more than 120 credits, spread across the world of film and television. After a lifetime dedicated to acting, Evans passed away "peacefully and surrounded by his family," according to Variety in a statement from his partner.
Surely, Evans' most memorable role is the aforementioned 'Die Hard 2', with the great Bruce Willis. In that film, the late actor played an air traffic controller who helped the character played by Willis, namely John McClane. Art Evans will surely be remembered by all his followers for many years to come.
