Here's every Kurt Russell horror movie, ranked. Russell has had many phases in his career, where he started as a child actor appearing on shows like Gunsmoke and made his film debut kicking Elvis in It Happened At The World's Fair. As a teenager, he graduated to roles in Disney movies like Barefoot Executive, but it was his collaboration with John Carpenter that would help shape his movie career. After first working together on the TV movie Elvis — where he played the titular singer — Russell shed his teen idol image by fronting Escape From New York. He played the one-eyed outlaw Snake Plisskin, with the movie becoming a hit and helping him land more grown-up roles.
While many of his films with Carpenter would become cult favorites like Big Trouble In Little China, he didn't score a true success again until 1988's Tequila Sunrise, co-starring Mel Gibson. From there, Russell was on a roll of successes that included Backdraft, Executive Decision and Tombstone.

In recent years, he's joined the Fast & Furious movies as Mr. Nobody, in addition to appearing in the likes of The Hateful Eight.
