Russ is excited to return to Concord Players.  A graduate of Emerson College, Russ spent many years in Boston radio, first as a traffic reporter for WBZ and later as a DJ on WXRV before leaving radio to concentrate on acting. Studying at the Michael Chekhov Actors Studio of Boston, Russ has appeared in several productions in the area over the years including these with Concord Players:  The Desk Set (Abe Cutler), Night Watch (John Wheeler), Mister Roberts (Wiley), and The Sound of Music (Franz).  Other recent productions include Cahoots (Al Shields) at Acme Theatre and Stage Kiss (Man) with the Nashoba Players.  Russ recently played the lawyer George for the Chinese television show The Wanderer and can also be heard as a narrator/translator on several episodes of Frontline (PBS).
