In 1966, Russell was signed to a ten-year contract withWalt Disney Productions,where he became, according toRobert Osborne,the "studio's top star of the '70s".[2]Russell's first film for Disney wasFollow Me, Boys!(1966).Walt Disneydescribed Russell as "a 15-year-old boy for whom I predict a great acting future",[20]in what would prove to be Disney's last filmed appearance before his death in December 1966. One of the last things Disney ever wrote was the name "Kurt Russell" (though misspelled as "Kirt" ) on a piece of paper.[21]In January 1967, Russell played Private Willie Prentiss in the episode "Willie and the Yank: The Mosby Raiders" inWalt Disney's Wonderful World of Color,released theatrically in some markets asMosby's Marauders(1967).

Disney promoted Russell to star roles withThe Computer Wore Tennis Shoes(1969) which was a big hit. He followed it withThe Barefoot Executive(1971), another success.

In 1971, he co-starred as a young robber released from jail, alongsideJames StewartinFools' Parade.[24]Later, he guest-starred in an episode ofRoom 222as an idealistic high school student who assumed the costumed identity ofPaul Revereto warn of the dangers of pollution.[25]

However, the bulk of his film work was for Disney in films such asNow You See Him, Now You Don't(1971),Charley and the Angel(1973), andSuperdad(1973).

Baseball career

Russell, like his father, had a baseball career. In the early 1970s, Russell was aswitch-hittingsecond basemanfor theCalifornia Angelsminor league affiliates, theBend Rainbows(1971)[26][27][28][29]andWalla WallaIslanders (1972) in theshort seasonClass A-Short SeasonNorthwest League,[30][31]then moved up to ClassAAin 1973 with theEl Paso Sun Kingsof theTexas League.[32][33]

While Russell was in the field turning the pivot of adouble playearly in the season, the incoming runner at second base collided with him and tore therotator cuffin Russell's right (throwing) shoulder. He did not return to El Paso, but was adesignated hitterfor the independentPortland Mavericksin the Northwest League late in their short season. The team was owned by his father, and he had been doing promotional work for them in the interim.[34]The injury forced his retirement from baseball in 1973 and led to his return to acting.[35]

TV star

In the autumn of 1974, he appeared in the ABC seriesThe New Land,inspired by the 1972Swedishfilm of thesame name.Critically acclaimed, it suffered very low ratings and aired only six of the 13 episodes. He returned to Disney forThe Strongest Man in the World(1975).

Cosmatos,saying he gave Cosmatos shot lists.[44]Russell claimed Stallone recommended Cosmatos to him after the removal of the first director, writerKevin Jarre,but Cosmatos had also worked withTombstoneexecutive producerAndrew G. Vajnabefore onRambo: First Blood Part II.Russell said he promised Cosmatos he would keep it a secret as long as Cosmatos was alive; Cosmatos died in April 2005.[44]Russell said he did not get a chance to edit his version, but Vajna gave him a tape of "everything on the movie" and that he might try to "reconstruct the movie", although he would need to go back to the script and all his notes.[44]

Russell played the villainous Stuntman Mike inQuentin Tarantino's segmentDeath Proofof the filmGrindhouse(2007), and was in two more Tarantino films,The Hateful Eight(2015) andOnce Upon a Time in Hollywood(2019). He also had a major role inGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.After a remake ofEscape from New Yorkwas announced, Russell was reportedly upset withGerard Butlerfor playing his signature character, Snake Plissken, as he believed the character 'was quintessentially [...] American.'[45][46]
