After completing high school, Evagora took a gap year, traveling across Europe with friends. Upon his return, he enrolled in film school in South Melbourne.

This made him the first Australian to be a regular cast member in a “Star Trek” TV series. In 2021, he had a role in an episode of “Home and Away.” His work extends to video games, where he provided voice, motion capture, and likeness for the character Nicholas “Nick” Furcillo in “The Quarry” (2022).
