Everett is an accomplished cellist , guitarist, and country singer-songwriter (RCA album - "Porchlight on in Oregon" and the two independently released CD's "Still Waters - (A Collection of Years) & "Watershed of an Earlier Heart: Songs of the Oregon Troubador").
As a character actor, he has played everything from white collar professionals to starring as Brian David Mitchell in the television movie "The Elizabeth Smart Story" to comedic work in "Winning Isn't Everything" at New York's Hudson Guild Theatre directed by legendary comedic director George Abbott, to playing southern white trash Alfredo in Non aprite quella porta - Parte 3 (1990).

Pepper in Balla coi lupi (1990), the straight-laced National Security Officer Jack Doherty in Air Force One (1997), and the black stovepipe-hatted Mosley Baker in Alamo - Gli ultimi eroi (2004). He created other memorable, idiosyncratic characterizations in lesser known films: Assistant Coach to James Earl Jones in I migliori (1989), Rabbitt in Prison (1987) starring Viggo Mortensen, etc. The directors, producers, and actors with whom he has worked more than once include, among others, Michael Bay ("Pearl Harbor, "Transformers" and "The Island"), and John Lee Hancock (including "Hard Time Romance," "The Rookie" (scenes deleted), and "The Alamo."), Kevin Costner ("Dances With Wolves" and "Thirteen Days: The Cuban Missile Crisis"), and Alex Graves & Kevin Falls ("West Wing" and "Journeyman").
