Quick Googling tells me there was another actor Evan S Evans, born Rochester NY, 1889.
I'll look more later if I get a chance.

maybe George's WWI Draft registration. names father Evan in Monongahela City, Pa, which is not far from New Eagle.

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:K6K2-KDH?from=lynx1UIV8&treeref=LBMF-248

people say this is George in 1930, Elizabeth, Union Co, NJ
married to Frances C [presumed Oliver], and living in Frances's mother's household. George born in Indiana, his father born in Wales, mother in Pennsylvania

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X4NM-VKD?from=lynx1UIV8&treeref=LBMF-248

if so, then this is George in 1940

Evan in 1925 in Harrietstown NY, no image. you might need to search for the other family members one at a time for this census.

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KSSQ-V44

--------
1951 Elizabeth NJ Directory
George R (Frances C) Evans, accountant in NY, 15b Colfax Manor RP [probably Roselle Park]

------
George, sometime after 1970:

"United States Public Records, 1970-2009," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QJCY-TG33 : 23 May 2014), George R Evans, Residence, Union City, New Jersey, United States; a third party aggregator of publicly available information.

----
tree at ancestry has an obituary from the Asbury Park NJ May 6, 1963 paper for George R Evans.

It says George died 4 May 1963, in Community Hospital, Toms River NJ. wife predeceased. survived by daughter, two sons [all could be alive, I think. the oldest was born in 1930. see 1940 census.]
