Kurt Russell: 5 Awesome Performances And 5 That Sucked

One man. So much awesome.

Kurt Russell has the kind of CV most actors can only dream about; he€™s done it all, from romantic comedies to tense dramas, gory horror movies to Fast And Furious sequels. He has many iconic characters to his name, but he€™s able to avoid typecasting because he always brings something unique to every part he plays. He got his start as a child actor with Disney, where he made his film debut as a boy who kicks Elvis on the shin. He made such an impression during his time there that Walt Disney€™s final words were €œKurt Russell€, which he wrote down on a notepad shortly before his death. Russell had a hard time transitioning from child actor to movie star, but thanks to hard work and some risk taking he was able to prove he€™s more than just an awesome chin. After a period of semi-retirement spent making wine he€™s finally back on the big screen where he belongs, and with The Hateful Eight about to cement his comeback €“ not to mention rumours of playing Star-Lord€™s dad in Guardians 2 €“ it feels like a good time to look back over his highlights so far. He€™s had so many awesome performances it€™s hard to narrow it down to just five €“ hell, he was even great in Furious 7 - but he€™s also racked up some few duds too

Handsome. Charismatic. Intelligent. Noble. Witty. I'm none of these things, but I'm a half decent writer, I guess.
