Christopher Evan Welch, 48, Stage and Screen Actor, Dies - NYTimes.com
Mr. Welch, recognizable to many by his unruly mop of brown hair, first performed in New York as Silvestre in a hyperkinetic 1997 production of Molière's comedy "Scapin," starring Bill Irwin, at the Laura Pels Theater. Ben Brantley, writing in The New York Times, called it "a sensational New York debut."
