He then played roles in the movies The Devil's Mercy, Booky & the Secret Santa, Everything Is Connected, Breakfast with Scot, For All the Marbles, and made a guest appearance in The Dresden Files as Scott Sharpe.

He then appeared in other roles, until his 2009 How To Be Indie casting as Marlon Parks,[1] and in 2010 the lead character in the Family Channel series Wingin' It.[2][3] He reprised his character as Marlon Parks to film a second series of YTV's How To Be Indie, which premiered in Canada, in fall 2010.[citation needed] Everett also filmed a second and third season with Wingin' It.[3]

In February 2012, he was cast as Campbell Saunders, a young hockey star struggling with anxiety and major depressive disorder in Degrassi: The Next Generation.[4] Everett received praise by audiences for his portrayal of mental health issues, as well as the character's eventual suicide plot line - also becoming the first major character in the franchise to do so.[5][6][7]
