First Famous Amos and now this. If I were Tori Amos I'd be nervous. Rule of 3.

Seems like a likable fellow.

This means he was only 34 when the show came on. They must have tried to make him look older.

Always liked him. RIP.

Was going to post the same thing. You just knew that James Evans would take care of business if anyone messed with his family.
