KURT RUSSELL – AGE 70

Kurt Russell rose to fame as a child star in many Walt Disney Studios films, eventually shedding his wholesome persona to some degree to play some of Hollywood’s most legendary and tough guys. He first broke the Disney paradigm with his critically praised depiction of Elvis Presley in the made-for-television biopic Elvis, which many hailed as one of his best performances. Russell has had a 40-year career, and, unlike many other actors of his age, this guy has played almost every character imaginable.

He recently reprised his role as Santa Claus in Netflix’s Christmas Chronicles 2, in which he is once again entrusted with saving Christmas. Is it possible that his final role will be that of Santa Claus? While we hope to see more of him in the future, it’s unclear whether this means this will be his final film or a potential third installment in the franchise will be his last appearance. Whatever his decision may be, he remains to be one of the remarkable actors working in Hollywood today.
