Biography
Early life
Evagora was born in Melbourne,[2] the youngest of seven children born to Marie and Xristos.[2] His parents both migrated to Australia: his mother, who is of Cook Islands Māori descent, from New Zealand when she was 20, and his father from Cyprus when he was three.[2]
Evagora grew up in Melbourne,[1] where he went to Kew High School.[3][4] His interests at school included sport, particularly boxing and Australian rules football.[2] He also took an interest in theatre, writing a play in which he took the part of Rove McManus.[3][4]
Evagora appeared to be destined for a sports career. He won a state boxing championship,[1][3] and played for Fitzroy Football Club in both Victorian Amateur Football Association and Victorian Football Association games.[3] After school he spent a year traveling around Europe with friends. Evagora then went to film school in South Melbourne.[2][3][4]
Career
While at film school Evagora was scouted[2] as a model by a company that represents models and actors,[3][4] and later moved to Sydney for his acting[2] and then to Los Angeles.[3]
Evagora played the role of Nick Taylor in the film Fantasy Island which was released in February 2020.[3][4]
Evagora has a starring role in Star Trek: Picard as Elnor, a Romulan hand-to-hand combat expert.[1] He is the first Australian to be a regular cast member in a Star Trek TV series.[3] His role quickly received a "Space Legolas" nickname from Internet users, based on similarities with the character from The Lord of the Rings films, including the name style.[5][6]
In an Australian magazine interview published in November 2019, Evagora said he would be filming in season 2 of Star Trek: Picard in 2020.[7]
