Embarking on his acting journey at the tender age of twelve, Kurt Russell starred in the Western series The Travels of Jaimie McPheeters in the early sixties. This role caught the attention of the Walt Disney Company, leading to a ten-year contract. By the seventies, he had become Disney’s most prominent star.

Nominated for various awards later in his career, including a Golden Globe for his supporting role in the movie Silkwood, Russell’s acting legacy spans nearly six decades. Notably, he appeared in The Hateful Eight.
