I’ve had a crush on Kurt Russell since he starred in The Travels of Jaime McPheters. Why is it when lists are made of successful actors, who were child actors, Kurt Russell is never on it? Yet he is a successful actor both in his professional and personal life. The very best to him and his family.

can't believe they left out "Tombstone" from the list. He made a great Wyatt Earp. His father was an actor also probably best known for Clem the deputy on "Bonanza".

Gary, Yes Tombstone was on the list and also that him and Goldie H have been together for years but never married...

He can also be seen in a number of Disney movies when he was very young. I think he was 6 or so in Circus Boy and about 10 in The Computer Who wore Tennis Shoes. I've always had a crush on him.

I used to think that Kurt Russell and Patrick Swayze was the same person. Once I found out that they were 2 different ppl..I was then convinced that they were brothers 🤦‍♀️🤣🤣

I absolutely love him in Captain Ron, which to me is the movie that shows his comedic talents. I watch every time it's on TV. definitely one of my all time favorite movies. I'm sure he had a blast making it too. A MUST SEE!!!!

Like him very much in many of his movies! I think one can get a definite feel for an actor’s true personality from seeing him/her in many different films—loved Kurt in Tombstone too!

I LOVED, LOVED him in 'Big Trouble in Little China'. At the time, (80s) IMO that movie was seriously underrated. I thought Kurt Russell had really good comedic timing. Up until then, I'd only known his anti-hero, and dramatic roles. It was after BTILC that he did more comedy. 'Overboard' was also great!!! And lately, I loved him in 'The H8ful 8'. IMO He and his "wife" are LEGENDS!!

FACTCHECKER, maybe I'm slow but no matter how many times I watch Vanilla Sky I just don't understand what is happening and can't figure out the premise of the movie no matter what from beginning to end I can't make heads or tails of it period. I can't find anyone to explain it to me
