Kurt Vogel Russell was born on March 17, 1951, in Springfield, Massachusetts, United States. He is the son of actor Bing Russell and grew up in a family closely connected to the entertainment industry. He has two sisters. Russell began acting at a very young age, appearing in motion pictures during his childhood years. He later graduated from Thousand Oaks High School in California.

Between 1971 and 1973, Kurt Russell pursued a professional sports career, playing for three years in minor league baseball. However, a serious injury forced him to abandon baseball and fully commit to acting. His career gained major momentum in 1979 when he portrayed Elvis Presley in the television film Elvis, directed by John Carpenter. This collaboration marked the beginning of a long-standing creative partnership.

Russell became closely associated with director John Carpenter, with whom he collaborated on five influential films: Elvis (1979), Escape from New York (1981), The Thing (1982), Big Trouble in Little China (1986), and Escape from Los Angeles (1996). These films helped establish his screen persona as a charismatic, rugged anti-hero and secured his place as a defining figure in action and science-fiction cinema.

Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Kurt Russell delivered memorable performances in films such as Used Cars, Tango & Cash, Backdraft, Tombstone, and Stargate. In later years, he successfully transitioned into both mainstream blockbusters and auteur-driven cinema, appearing in Vanilla Sky, Death Proof, The Hateful Eight, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. His career spans more than six decades, making him one of the most enduring actors in Hollywood history.
