Everett McGill (born October 21, 1945) is an American actor, best known for mostly playing villains in films like Licence to Kill, Silver Bullet, and Under Siege 2: Dark Territory. McGill was born Charles Everett McGill III in Miami Beach, Florida. He graduated from Rosedale High School, Rosedale, Kansas, in 1963. McGill has a 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 soap opera 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 franchise, Licence to Kill. The muscular, 6 feet 2½ inches (1.89 m) in tall actor is probably most widely recognized for his work with director David Lynch. McGill first worked with Lynch in the 1984 adaptation of Frank Herbert's Dune, in which he played Fremen leader Stilgar. McGill later
