Filmography
Personal life
Evers, who was married to a woman previously, came out as gay in January 2018[5] in an interview with Attitude magazine. He said it was partly the death of his uncle from AIDS and the presidency of Donald Trump that resulted in his decision to announce his sexuality publicly, saying: "I live my life by example, and I want to show young people that what you feel or how you were born isn't something bad."[6]
