  • Man! Kurt Russel has a lot of Iconic Characters! We didn't even get to cover Backdraft, Big Trouble in Little China, Miracle, Sky High, Bone Tomahawk, Fast and Furious... Like this to see a part 2 👍

    • GQ, next time with Russell, you MUST have a segment devoted to Backdraft! Another suggestion: please allow the final edits to have some of the subject's pauses instead of cutting so quickly to a different camera angle. Allow the interview to breathe. And don't fret, we won't get bored.

  • Kurt's Santa is my favorite movie Santa of all time! He had such a young at heart, fun, sometimes stern, but always compassionate vibe about him. Tons of humor and a genuine twinkle in his eye! My favorite scene is when he's in jail with all of the "bad guys" and you knew they were probably all supposed to be on the naughty list but Santa loved them anyway and Kurt played that aspect of Santa brilliantly! I wish they would have given us more of what Kurt had to say about that role because it's my favorite role of his! I'm super glad to see he was so proud of it!

You can tell Wyatt was raised well being someone truly following in his fathers footsteps.
