Colonel Everett

[TheCorpulent1]

So, in the "Avalon I" In the Making feature thing, Joseph Mallozzi says that Ben Browder was originally considered for the role of Colonel Everett, which I thought was weird. Obviously, a lot of us are happy that Browder ended up as Mitchell in SG-1, but how do you think it would've played out if he'd been cast as Everett? Personally, I'm glad he didn't get the part because, frankly, Everett was a bit of a jerk and I don't know how effective that level of gruffness would've been coming from our buddy Crichton's mouth.

Yeah BB seems good so far and I never liked Everett but if BB had been Everett maybe they would have written him differently

[CeeKay Sheppard]

I never liked Everett either.

I never watched Farscape, so all I can say about BB being considered for the role is that he looks too young. He doesn't have the hardened look that a character like Everett needs.

[oragans]

Im gad he were't everett BB is to cool to be him.

[Tomcatter]

BB is too young to play Everett. I want to like Mitchell and ended up hating Everett (but ultimately feeling sorry for him). Plus, Everett was supposed to have known Col. Sumner for a good amount of time, giving me the impression the two had served together on the same level. They needed someone Sumner's age to make it work.

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, the age thing is another part that wouldn't have worked with Browder as Everett. I didn't like Everett much myself. He was way too over the top.

I thought the actor portraying Everett was great... I really liked the character of Everett. As Sheppard said in the beginning of Seige II, he had to come in and establish a clear chain of command. Remember the note from General O'Neill?

The fact that Colonel Everett grew to respect Weir and her leadership abilities reflects greatly on his character.

But I am glad things worked out the way it did. I am enjoying Browder as Mitchell... especially as the '302 pilot in Lost City.
