One of the busiest performers in the history of B-westerns, mustachioed Jack Evans appeared in at least 220 oaters and a dozen or so serials in the sound era alone. Onscreen from the early '20s, Evans was very visible in the 1930s, almost always playing one of the villain's sloppy-looking, ornery, and altogether unpleasant-to-be-around henchmen. His hair and mustache graying, Evans remained in westerns until the late '40s but could by then usually be found in the saloon, merely observing the hectic goings-on from the sidelines instead of being an active participant.
