Evan Dollard (エヴァン・ドラード) is a youth instructor born in Chicago, Illinois and currently residing in Fox River Grove, Illinois. He is best known for being the male winner on the 2008 revival season of American Gladiators and was rewarded with becoming a gladiator for their second season, dubbed Rocket for his speed in "The Wall" event. He also competed on American Ninja Warrior 2.
Despite having limited experience of the show, he placed 11th in the qualifying round and went on to place 8th in the semi-finals. He was involved in a dramatic moment on the last day of the reality-styled boot camp the semi-finalist had to endure as he nominated himself in place of Patrick Cusic to attempt the Heavenly Ropes elimination challenge despite Patrick being arguably the weakest on the team. However, he completed the challenge fast enough to become a finalist and attempt SASUKE 26, however his run ended early as he failed the new Rolling Escargot. Ironically, fellow finalist Patrick Cusic failed the same obstacle with the two men providing the worse results for the team that tournament.
Rocket returned for American Ninja Warrior 3. He completed the Qualifying Round and advanced to Semi-Finals where he failed the Salmon Ladder.
