IMHO, if have never done any obvious evil act in the past, they should not be of evil alignment. I think PHB is quite clear saying that evil pc are out there to do what they want at the expense of others and they really do it, they don't simply consider it. If thinking evil things is sufficient to be evil, then all the DMs in the world are evil.
A character who would sometimes commit an evil act is still neutral
IMHO.
