Maurice Herbert Evans (3 June 1901 – 12 March 1989) was a British-American〔(Petition for Naturalization as a United States citizen ), ancestry.com; accessed 20 October 2015.〕 actor noted for his interpretations of Shakespearean characters. In terms of his screen roles, he is probably best known as Dr. Zaius in ''Planet of the Apes'' and as Samantha Stephens' father Maurice in ''Bewitched''.
==Early years==
Evans was born at 28 Icen Way (where there is now a memorial plaque, unveiled in 2013 by his great-great niece) in Dorchester, Dorset, England, to Laura (Turner) and Alfred Herbert Evans, a dispensing chemist and keen amateur actor who made adaptations of novels by Thomas Hardy for the local amateur company. Hardy lived in Dorchester and thought highly of Evans's adaptations and productions. Young Maurice made his first stage appearance as a small boy in "Far from the Madding Crowd". He first appeared on the stage in 1926 at the Cambridge Festival Theatre and joined the Old Vic Company in 1934, playing Hamlet, Richard II and Iago.
He was selected by Terence Gray to appear in the opening production in November 1926 at the Festival Theatre, taking the part of Orestes in two parts of the sensational production of the ''Oresteia'' of Aeschylus. This was followed by Lord Belvoir in ''The Man Who Ate the Popomack'' by W.J. Turner, and Saint Anthony in Maeterlinck's ''The Miracle of Saint Anthony''. Then in 1927 Evans played a poet in ''The Pleasure Garden'' by Beatrice Mayor followed by Young Man in ''On Baile's Strand'' by W. B. Yeats, Midir in ''The Immortal Hour'' by Fiona Macleod, the Hon. Algernon Moodie in ''The Rumour'' by C.K. Munro, Mark Ingestire in ''Sweeney Todd'' by Dibdin Pitt, the poet in ''The Lost Silk Hat'' by Lord Dunsany, the Captain in ''Androcles and the Lion'' by George Bernard Shaw, Mister Four and Young Man in ''The Adding Machine'' by Elmer Rice, Don Juan in the play of the same title by James Elroy Flecker, two parts in Terence Gray's own play ''The Red Nights of the Tcheka'', the Stage Manager in ''The Player Queen'', also by W. B. Yeats, the Second Engineer in ''The Insect Play'' by the Čapek brothers, Prince Kamose in another Gray play called ''And in the Tomb'' and finally in June 1927 Don Pelegari in Pirandello's ''Each In His Own Way''. Both Yeats and Shaw attended performances of their own plays.
