Zap2it's Announcement
Thank you to Anthony of Top Models (dedicated to B&B) for sending this over!
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - "Passions" star Josh Ryan Evans passed away
during a medical procedure in a San Diego hospital on Monday
afternoon. He was 20.
Evans played Timmy, a doll created by the show's resident witch,
Tabitha Lenox. Timmy was recently turned into a real boy. The
character died on Monday's show in an episode which was taped last
month. Together, Tabitha and Timmy were daytime TV's most
unforgettable couple.
The diminutive actor broke into the entertainment industry at an early
age. Without telling his parents, a 12-year old Evans printed his own
business cards and hired an agent. This led to a nationally aired
commercial for Dreyer's/Edy's Ice Cream, which won a Cloe Award and
earned Evans the attention of casting agents.
His first feature film role was in "Baby Geniuses" with Kathleen
Turner. Evans played the young Grinch in Jim Carrey's "How the Grinch
Stole Christmas" in 2000.
The actor's television credits include appearances on "Ally McBeal "
and "7th Heaven" Evans was also featured in the A&E miniseries " P.T.
Barnum," in which he played the lead role of General Tom Thumb.
