October 2005 - backup goalie for the Chicago Steel of the USHL. November 2009 - Groningen Grizzlies in the Netherlands. Drafted in the supplemental by the Des Moines Buccaneers of the USHL. - When Russell (described as an 'aggressive, stand-up goaltender with a strong skating stride') reported for the WHL's Prince George (British Columbia, Canada, August, 2002) Cougars' training camp, he arrived in his parents' private jet. The family moved into a $4-million Vancouver mansion 1 July. Oddly, the team's press releases have not mentioned Russell at all.
- When you're an athlete, you've got the horse blinders on pretty thick. Your exploration of other things in life tends to be limited because you have to have such a focus on what you're doing. I wasn't a good enough player to stray from that focus and still keep my ability.
- I got hurt when I was 19. They thought I broke my neck. I couldn't move my hands or feet, and I had a very bad experience.
- I would consider my dad a pretty patient guy, but there was no tolerance for spoiled behavior.
- In hockey, there are no second chances, but the great thing about acting is that there actually are. If you do a scene and you think you can do better - take two!
- I played professional hockey in Europe. I played in the German third league and the Dutch elite league.
