Man! Kurt Russel has a lot of Iconic Characters! We didn't even get to cover Backdraft, Big Trouble in Little China, Miracle, Sky High, Bone Tomahawk, Fast and Furious... Like this to see a part 2 👍

@KyleCorwith 3 месяца назад

GQ, next time with Russell, you MUST have a segment devoted to Backdraft! Another suggestion: please allow the final edits to have some of the subject's pauses instead of cutting so quickly to a different camera angle. Allow the interview to breathe. And don't fret, we won't get bored.

Kurt's Santa is my favorite movie Santa of all time! He had such a young at heart, fun, sometimes stern, but always compassionate vibe about him. Tons of humor and a genuine twinkle in his eye! My favorite scene is when he's in jail with all of the "bad guys" and you knew they were probably all supposed to be on the naughty list but Santa loved them anyway and Kurt played that aspect of Santa brilliantly! I wish they would have given us more of what Kurt had to say about that role because it's my favorite role of his! I'm super glad to see he was so proud of it!

Kurt, in one word, is iconic! He really is one of the more down the earth actors. His personality as a person just shines. You can tell how he has real passion as an actor to this day. I was like whoa when I learned that he was in Monarch: Legacy of Monsters and loved to hear him talk about working with his son. I respect the family dynamic and think that is so cool. You can tell Wyatt was raised well being someone truly following in his fathers footsteps. In The Christmas Chronicles he really shined as Santa which those movies are at the top of my list for my favorite Christmas movies. I really loved and totally agreed with his out look about Santa Claus!

only because it came out around the same time as E.T. which had way more marketing and without the internet thats really all you had to go by. When you have 2 aliem type movies most non horror lovers are gravitating towards E.T.

He omitted that his son Wyatt had previously played the younger version of his own character in Soldier (1998). This is one of the few videos like this that definitely needs a part 2. Kurt Russell is fascinating to listen to, and I'd like to hear him talk about more of his movies.
