Chris Marks as Everett Bailey
Character Description
Everett is a large man, standing at about 6'5", with long, scraggly brown hair and always has a five o'clock shadow. He spent a decade in the Army and has done a few tours in the middle east. He is highly skilled, keeps his strong physique well maintained, has a snarky sense of humor, makes jokes out of things that are serious, and has a habit of sabotaging his civilian jobs because he secretly misses the Army despite his intense PTSD.
Everett has a beautiful wife and two kids, a nice modern home, a great job, and a lot to lose.
Scene Description
Former Army Ranger Everett Bailey meets with General Stockard to discuss a covert mission. Everett has no desire or intention of accepting the new mission, as prescribed by Stockard. Neither one likes the situation, but both pairs of hands are being forced by external nefarious circumstances.
Everett doesn't remember due to his PTSD, but at one point while in Afghanistan, he encountered and killed a Giant with superhuman strength. He is part of a larger government cover up and doesn't know it.

Wendy Cyr

ActressWell done Chris! I liked the pacing a lot and the gravity that you gave the scene. Strong emotional choices were made. There was a pause that was just a hair too long if I am being picky but overall, it was a strong performance!
Cari Riley
ActressYou did so well! I really enjoyed hearing your tone change during the scene and was totally vibing with it but would have like even more. It just felt a little disconnected because your expression stayed the same throughout, so it felt flat. If you bring that same energy to your face, it’s going to be absolutely killer.
Rachael Brown
ActressChris- well done!
I have no idea what your stature is in actuality, but I can see you as the mountain of a man Everett's presence required in this scene.
I feel like you have mastered the power of the pause and the look of unbelief your gave after you turned around was , chiling and strong- Bravo!
Becky Bartlett
ActressGreat job, Chris! I loved watching your character arc evolve with a wide array of emotions! Loved the intensity as well!
Mark Miertschin
ActorGreat job! You have an eyeline change at :38 from off camera right to off camera left. If you are talking to the same guy, I don't think he would have moved.
