After landing a small part in an Elvis Presley movie at age 10, Russell signed a 10-year contract with Walt Disney to be the "studio's top star of the '70s." Later on, he played Elvis Presley in John Carpenter's ABC TV movie. He followed this with a string of successful films, including "Escape from New York" (1981), "The Thing" (1982) and "Silkwood" (1983) opposite Meryl Streep and Cher.
