## Bio

Russell started acting at 12 in the Western series The Travels of Jaimie McPheeters, then signed a ten-year deal with Disney in the late 1960s, churning out family comedies like The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes. His 1979 turn as Elvis Presley earned him an Emmy nomination and cracked open adult roles. Through the '80s he became John Carpenter's antihero of choice — Snake Plissken in Escape from New York, a paranoid researcher in The Thing, a mystical trucker in Big Trouble in Little China — and picked up a Golden Globe nod for Silkwood. The '90s brought Backdraft, Tombstone, Stargate; the 2000s added Tarantino (Death Proof, The Hateful Eight, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) and franchise work as Mr. Nobody in Fast & Furious, Ego in the MCU, and Santa in Netflix's Christmas Chronicles films. Six decades in, he's still the reliable variable.
