Biography:A self-described "navy brat," "William Russ" travelled all over the country in his formative years. Russ settled down in one place long enough to attend the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor; here he studied drama with such classmates as "Christine Lahti". After graduation, he toured Europe as a member of the Ann Arbor mime troupe. Back in the states, he attended New York's Neighborhood Playhouse on a scholarship. His subsequent New York stage credits include MacBeth, The Basic Training of Pavlo Hummel (in which he appeared with "Al Pacino") and Buried Child. In films since 1989's "Disorganized Crime", Russ' largest and most rewarding movie role (thus far) was over-the-hill ballplayer Roy Dean Bream in 1991's "Pastime". Russ is best known to the public at large for his TV work: he has played Burt McCowan in "Another World", Roger Lococco in "Wiseguy", Redmond Dunne in "Capitol News" and Terry Hannon...
