Kurt Vogel Russell (English: Kurt Vogel Russell, March 17, 1951 -) is an American actor. In his early years, he was a second-string player on the American Professional Baseball team. In the past, he has starred in many comedy movies co-produced with Disney. He often collaborates with director John Carpenter. His representative works are the heroic movie "Escape from New York" (1981) about saving the President of the United States in the early 1990s and its sequel "Escape from Los Angeles" (1996). He played the articulate anti-hero Snake Pliskin, which was widely praised. In 1986, he also played the funny and dissolute truck driver Jack Burton in Carpenter's fantasy action film "Chinatown." Other well-known works include the horror film "The Third" (1982), the science fiction film "Star Trek" (1994) and the blockbuster action film "Fast and Furious 7" (2015). He played Star-Lord's biological father Ego in the 2017 Marvel movie "Strike 2". Russell mainly supported the Liberal Party, and when there was no suitable candidate from the Liberal Party, he supported the Republicans. He even said that he and his current live-in girlfriend Goldie Hawn moved to Colorado because it was different from the general political atmosphere in Hollywood.
