RUSSELL AND THE HUSTLE

“Ingrid Goes West” actor

got sound career advice from his parents, and “Be on time. Know your lines. And don’t be a jerk. That’s kind of it.” The handsome 31-year-old (above) says acting is a lot easier than his former gig as a hockey player. “Going to an audition is like, you spend six minutes trying to get someone to enjoy your performance,” Russell said. “If they say no, it’s a lot better than getting your head slammed or your two front teeth knocked out.”
