Everett Osborne is an American actor born in Los Angeles, California where he began acting at the age of four. With an innate curiosity and attraction to human behavior he was led to earn a degree in Psychology from the University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley, where he not only played sports but served the community as President of all student-athletes.

In 2024, Everett won Best Actor at the Boston Film Festival for his first film appearance as the starring title role of "Nathaniel Sweetwater Clifton" in the motion picture Sweetwater based off the first African American to sign a NBA contract (from the Harlem Globetrotters to the New York Knicks), and forever changing how the game of basketball is played. He starred opposite Cary Elwes, Jeremy Piven, Richard Dreyfuss, and Kevin Pollack. During the press run of the film he was invited to participate in the NBA Celebrity All-Star Game and broke the scoring record. The film can currently be streamed on Prime and was nominated for an NAACP award for "Outstanding Independent Motion Picture". More recently, Everett has put his producer cap on, starring and producing the film Burnout from executive producer, and Oscar Winner, Jamie Lee Curtis.

Everett's ultimate passion is for inspiring people and has created a global brand called Evolving where he focuses on uplifting and empowering others to push through life's obstacles to reach their destiny.
