He's a mock Sicilian

Very briefly, for those who might not be aware, Kurt Russell was a successful child actor in the 60s, where he appeared in multiple TV shows and movies, even starring in his own television series for a time. In the 70s, he was Disney's biggest star in both TV and film. By the 80s, he hooked up with John Carpenter to create some of the most iconic characters in cinema - Snake Plissken, Jack Burton and RJ MacReady. And he just kept rolling from there, moving easily between action, comedy and drama, picking up accolades and awards, until today, when he is unquestionably a major star.

Oh, and he played pro baseball in the minors for a bit.

We often hear stories of those child actors who crash and burn, failing to make the transition to adulthood, but there are a handful who do make it and make it successfully. But I'm hard pressed to think of another who has been equally - or more - successful than Kurt. (Actually, as I write, Jodi Foster comes to mind. But that's pretty much it from me.)

Anyone else have thoughts on this? Is there someone who did it better?

They hope the actor gets in the cast.

Russell Crowe

I can’t believe this is happening! I’m a huge fan!
