Joshua Ryan Evans (January 10,1982–August 5, 2002) was an American actor who became known for his role of "Timmy Lenox" in the soap opera "Passions".
Though he was 17' years old when Passions debuted, Evans had the appearance and voice of a small child due to achondroplasia, a form of dwarfism. He was 3 feet 2 inches (97cm) tall.

In a tragically ironic twist of fate, the actor died of a congenital heart defect the very day his character Timmy died on the show and donated his heart to Charity Standish.

On August 5, 2002, Evans died during a medical procedure in San Diego from complications related to a congenital heart condition. The death scene Evans had previously taped for Passions aired the same day that he died; the episode was dedicated to him.

His other films roles included ”Baby Geniuses” and ”How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” in which he played the young Grinch. Outside of ”Passions,” he was probably best known for his guest role as young lawyer Oren, a foe of Ally’s on ”Ally McBeal.”



Evans is interred at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in the Hollywood Hills.
