Interviews...are not his favorite
Evans is pretty good at ducking out of questions he'd prefer not to answer—and honestly his patience with unbelievably annoying or intrusive questions is far better than mine would be.
But early on there were some tiny moments snark worthy of Morse himself...
Excerpt from a 2014 TV Choice interview:
Will you change anything for the second series?
Shaun Evans: I’m going to do it completely in drag! Or knitwear!
Excerpt from a 2007 interview by Laura Davis for the Liverpool Daily Post about Sparkle:
Davis: And plans for the future?
Evans: “I’m going to finish my dinner.
He is, however, very capable of being endearing as well:
From S9 Masterpiece Theater interview:
MASTERPIECE: Looking back, Kathy B. wants to know, “Out of all the seasons of Endeavour, what hairstyle and wardrobe did you like best?”
SHAUN EVANS: I liked the boldness of the one where I had the mustache. [Laughs] Yeah, and even when I look back, I think that’s a bold choice. I like that one. And to have continued it for the whole season! What I love is that it was never mentioned. I mean, no one goes, “Dude, what’s that on your lip?” You just ride with it. That was one of my favorite ones.
From S8 Masterpiece Theater interview:
MASTERPIECE: Kim H. asks a fun question: “If you met Endeavour at a party, would you see yourself being friends?”
SHAUN EVANS: Yeah, because I would have enormous sympathy for him. So even though he may think me quite shallow and a bit ridiculous, I would pursue him until we became mates. I would hound him, so that he had someone to chat to, and I would be a total [pain in the neck], following him all the time. “Hey, dude! Come on, don’t be on your own. Let’s go for a drink!”

So apparently now they’re saying I have a waist like a disney princess
I mean… really? A disney princess? What do you think?
I wonder which princess … I mean they haven’t been specific
So I’ve reread all the stories and given they’re also obsessed with my hair, I think either Rapunzel or Brave… which do you think?
Sleeping beauty?? But I never sleep… it can’t be that
Elsa?? Seriously???
I mean it’s not even a classic..

What an awfully awful stressfully stressful week this has been!
Here's beautiful pictures of a wonderful man to cheer all us up.
You find these pics underneath the word "angel". I'm sure of it!

Look, I have this issue... it's awkward for me to talk about it, but we're a bit worried... I've come to you as the oldest member of the actors' team, and I'll speak on behalf of all of us... hmm, how to start... lately, you've been behaving somewhat oddly... it's the second day of shooting this week, and you're still wearing a tuxedo... yesterday, there were scenes at the police station, and today in the park... don't you think this costume isn't quite appropriate... last week, for three days straight, you were playing half-naked... I absolutely don't want to question your competence, you're the director and you're playing the lead role... but don't you think those scenes in the chapel when you were shirtless were a bit inappropriate?
And who the hell is that gray-haired woman who keeps following you around with some documents?!

Not technically Shaun or Morse or Morsetache but somehow related.
Tell me if this isn't literally him in season six

I'm extremely sorry for my absence yesterday. I'll confess in secret that besides Evans, I also love (!) volleyball... maybe not more, but certainly for longer... and yesterday I went to fulfill every fan's duty by supporting our national team in the Champions League Final. I apologize, but I can't promise it won't happen again.
Anyway ...
Let's get back to the important stuff... Some actors prefer to be photographed only from their "better" profile, Shaun probably couldn't care less about that (like many other insignificant things), besides, just look at him... can he have a worse profile...
