American crooner Brian Evans has worn a lot of hats during his entertainment career, from author to actor, singer, and composer. Evans grew up in Haverhill, Massachusetts, and early on he was introduced to big-band music, and was particularly fascinated by crooners like Frank Sinatra. He moved to Los Angeles in 1986 to pursue a career in the entertainment business, landing roles as an actor in commercials, in television series (Beverly Hills 90210 and Full House among them), and in New Line Cinema's Book of Love. As an author, he wrote an autobiography, Dreamer, in 1994, and was one of the writers and creators of the comic book series Horrorscope. As a singer, he has released several albums, mostly in Canada. In 2004, he did an attention-grabbing left turn and ran a failed bid for the United States Senate in Hawaii as a politician. His major-label debut, My Turn, produced by Narada Michael Walden, appeared in 2013. ~ Steve Leggett
