The actor, who came out over 20 years ago, told BBC Radio 4 that he believes he has been purposefully looked over for leading man roles by Hollywood powerbrokers.
"I just never got a job there [in Hollywood], and I never got a job here [in the UK], after [coming out]," he said.
Everett went on to say that his frustration over his career led him to abandon hope of ever being a success in the US.
He added: "I did a couple of films, I was very lucky at the beginning of my career... and then, I never had another job here for ten years probably and I moved to Europe."
Everett recently slammed Jennifer Aniston for starring in a series of "tasteless" movies.
