    God bless Mike Evans who passed at the young age of 57. His talent merited more and better roles than he received. Norman Mailer giving him his walking papers when he asked for more airtime was tragic. Finally after decades of being sidelined he suffered throat cancer, a horrible way to go. Mike was a great talent and deserved better treatment.

    I love The Jeffersons, and the first Lionel was by far the best and it’s not even up for debate. The first Lionel was cool, charming, and quick witted. I also loved that he would break out of character in certain scenes.

    Mike Evans is Lionel Jefferson, the original he’s been the beginning since the first episode of all in the family. The first Jefferson appear on screen. They did him dirty in the Jeffersons. They should’ve had more of a role for him since he was the original character to appear

We also must recognize we would have no Good Times without him. The best Damon Evans episode is when he celebrated Lionels graduation

    The other Lionel I'm sure he's a nice guy But this was not his character. He should not have been casted for this role. Much respect to him though for trying.

      Yes, I read an article where he (Damon Evans) admitted that he was gay. In fact, he stated that he hated to play the role of Lionel. He only played the role to please his parents who was hoping the role of being Jenny's boyfriend would make him go strait. He also stated that when they (Norman Lear) released him and brought the other Lionel back (Mike Evans), he was so happy to leave the show.
