Everett Brown has grown into a veteran American actor who has kept working through several turns of the industry. Casting directors have gone to him for drama more than for anything else. 39 appearances between the two screens is the plain arithmetic of it. The role of 'Big Sam' in 'Gone with the Wind' is the one that keeps being brought up. 'King Kong' is the other credit that tends to come up. The early stretch of the career is the part least seen today.
