Biography

Troy Evans served with the 25th Infantry Division (2/22 mechanized) in Vietnam, 1968 and 1969.

He appeared in the pilot episode of ER (1994) as Officer Frank Martin, then returned years later as a replacement for Jerry the desk clerk. Frank often talked to the doctors about his police career.

In "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas", Evans plays an irate police chief checking in a hotel during a convention in what was originally a non-speaking/background role. But as Evans had just had major hip surgery, he poured his physical pain into an ad-libbed irate rant towards the hotel clerk in the movie, and the director, Terry Gilliam, liked it so much that he included it in the film.

1966 Graduate of Flathead High School in Kalispell, Montana.

He appeared in the pilot episode of David Lynch's bizarre Twin Peaks (1990) as the school principal, Principal George Wolchezk, then appeared in no other episodes.
