He started his acting career with a bang, playing Daniel Day-Lewis’s son in PT Anderson’s epic “There Will Be Blood.” From there, Russell guest starred on TV: CSI:NY, Fringe, Switched at Birth and played the popular hit man Mr. Wrench in FX's Fargo. He has been applauded for his stage work in shows like “Tribes,” “I Was Almost Alive With You,” "King Lear" and "To Kill a Mockingbird,” making historic strides for deaf actors.
