	Actors - Everett McGill

American actor Everett McGill (b. Charles Everett McGill on October 21, 1945 in Miami Beach, Florida, USA ) has relatively short filmography, but has managed to garner some level of fame by appearing in films and television series, including a stint as Chad Richards on The Guiding Light in 1975 and 1976, with cult followings. After coming into the public eye in 1981 for his role as the rugged caveman leader Naoh in Quest for Fire
, McGill appeared in Silver Bullet
, a 1985 werewolf movie inspired by a Stephen King short story; the Korean War battle epic Field of Honor and the Clint Eastwood war film Heartbreak Ridge
in 1986; and in the 1989 installment of the James Bond franches, Licence to Kill
.

The muscular, 6'5" actor is probably most widely recognized for his work with director David Lynch, however. McGill first worked with Lynch in the 1984 adaptation of Frank Herbert's Dune. McGill later appeared as a major character on the TV series Twin Peaks, in which he played Ed Hurley, a sensitive mechanic torn between his high school sweetheart, Norma, and his shrewish, one-eyed wife. Ed and Norma's troubled romance was one of the show's major storylines. Subsequently, McGill also appeared in Lynch's 1999 film, The Straight Story
, again as a mechanic.

In 1991, McGill and his Twin Peaks spouse Wendy Robie appeared as the husband-and-wife villains of the Wes Craven feature, The People Under the Stairs
.

He appeared in My Fellow Americans
as "twisted psycho" Colonel Paul Tanner, and in Under Siege 2 as an equally twisted and ruthless mercenary.
