Maurice Evans Quotes:

Edward "Hutch" Hutchins: Pregnant women are supposed to gain, not lose weight!


Dr. Zaius: You are a menace. A walking pestilence.


Dr. Zaius: Dr. Zira, I must caution you. Experimental brain surgery on these creatures is one thing, and I'm all in favor of it. But your behavior studies are another matter. To suggest that we can learn anything about the simian nature from a study of man is sheer nonsense. Why, man is a nuisance. He eats up his food supply in the forest, then migrates to our green belts and ravages our crops. The sooner he is exterminated, the better. It's a question of simian survival.

Maurice Evans Facts
While Evans was extremely well-known as a Shakespearean actor during the years that he was most active, his fame in this area was eventually eclipsed by that of Laurence Olivier and John Gielgud, who won even more acclaim for their performances than Evans did.

During World War II, he commanded the Special Entertainment Unit which included fellow actors Werner Klemperer and Carl Reiner.

He played more leading roles in "Hallmark Hall of Fame" (1951) television productions of Shakespeare than any other actor, starring in versions of "Hamlet", "Macbeth", "Twelfth Night", "Richard II", "The Taming of the Shrew" and "The Tempest".
