Tom Everett(I)

Graduate of The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts on an ITT International Fellowship in the Fulbright Competition, Tom is a first-rate chameleon character actor playing everything from white collar professionals to starring as Brian David Mitchell in the CBS television movie "The Elizabeth Smart Story," to receiving glowing notices for his comedic work as a dweeb/nerd/gofer in "Winning Isn't Everything" at New York's Hudson Guild Theatre directed by legendary comedic director George Abbot, to playing southern white trash Alfredo Sawyer in "Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw 3." High profile roles include, but are not limited to, the scruffy "George Gabby" Hayes-like Sgt. Pepper in "Dances With Wolves," the straight-laced National Security Officer Jack Doherty in "Air force One," and the black stovepipe-hatted Mosely Baker in "The Alamo." He's also created a whole host of other memorable, idiosyncratic characterizations, albeit in, perhaps, lesser known films: Assistant Coach to James Earl Jones in "Best of the Best," Rabbitt in "Prison" starring Viggo Mortensen, etc., etc.... Tom has had the pleasure of working with directors and producers more than once including three films with Kevin Costner, three films with John Lee Hancock (including John Lee's first film "Hard Time Romance" starring alongside Tom's friend Leon Rippy), three films with Michael Bay, several projects with Alex Graves, Kevin Falls, the late Jeff Burr, Michael Pressman, Frank Von Zerneck & Bob Sertner, Jeff Morton, Renny Harlin, Peter Segal and Michael Ewing. Television audiences have seen him in a whole host of projects doing a variety of roles including as Rory Carmichael, the condemned Alabama death row inmate in the pilot episode of "The Beast" directed by Mimi Leder, as the recurring character Charles Frost on "West Wing," and as the recurring character Dr. Elliot Langley on "Journeyman." A cellist, guitarist and country/folk singer-songwriter, Tom wrote and sang an album of his tunes that was released in 1971 on RCA Records - "Porchlight On In Oregon." Subsequent independently released albums include "Still Waters (A Collection of Years)," "House at the end of the Block," & "Watershed of an Earlier Heart: Songs of the Oregon Troubadour." (Three of these titles can presently be found on Spotify, Apple Music, Youtube, Pandora and Tidal.) He received scholarships to Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival, NYU Tisch School of the Arts where he received an MFA, and Perry-Mansfield School of Drama and Dance. After spending12 years in New York studying, honing his craft and acting in five Broadway plays, many off-Broadway & off-off Broadway & regional theatre ones too (including his being a Resident Member of The American Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford, Connecticut) he made his way out to LaLa Land. He's never, to this date, owned a house...but he has recently purchased his first piece of real estate - a burial plot up amidst the greenery and among the trees of and in his native Oregon.
