My Take
Damon Evans fascinates me because he refused to be boxed in. Famous to millions as Lionel Jefferson and as the young Alex Haley in Roots: The Next Generations, he could have coasted on television fame, yet he also trained as an opera singer and worked the stage. That kind of restless versatility, jumping between sitcom, classical music, and theater, takes real courage and serious chops. His Brooklyn College grounding clearly paid off. I have a soft spot for artists who treat a hit role as a starting point rather than a destination, and Evans embodies that wandering, fearless spirit beautifully.
