Jason Evers (January 2, 1922 – March 13, 2005) was an American actor.
Evers was born Herbert Evers in New York City, New York. After leaving high school early to join the United States Army, Evers was so inspired by stars like John Wayne (who he would later appear with in The Green Berets) that he decided to try acting.
A stint on Broadway led to Hollywood, where his first recurring role was on the 1960 NBC western television series, Wrangler. On June 30, 1960, Evers appeared on NBC's The Ford Show, Starring Tennessee Ernie Ford. He was cast for an episode of the ABC western series, The Rebel ("Miz Purdy", 1961) appearing as George Tess.
Evers made three guest appearances on Perry Mason, including the role of murder victim Stuart Benton in "The Case of the Difficult Detour" (1961), and defendant Roy Galen in "The Case of the Latent Lover" (1964). In "The Case of the Posthumous Painter" (also 1961), he played the defendant's brother.
In the 1963–1964 season, Evers starred as 41-year-old Professor Howe in the 26-episode ABC drama series, Channing, based on life on a college campus, with co-star Henry Jones. His most enduring role derived from the 1959 B-movie classic The Brain That Wouldn't Die, which was not released until 1962.
