Other movie appearances include Dance with a Stranger (1985), Chronicle of a Death Foretold (1987), The Madness of King George (1994), My Best Friend's Wedding (1997), Shakespeare in Love (1998), A Midsummer Night's Dream (1999), The Next Best Thing (2000) and The Importance of Being Earnest (2002).

Besides his acting career, Everett has had some success as a novelist.
