Russ Tamblyn


Born with natural talents in acting and dancing, Russ Tamblyn already has all the tools he needed to succeed in Hollywood. He began his career under the spotlight as a child actor, landing a few roles in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s projects. By 1954, Russ starred in the musical film Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. A couple of years later, he starred as Norman Page in the 1957 drama film Peyton Place, where he got an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

Other titles Russ worked on along the way include West Side Story, The Haunting, and The War of the Gargantuas. Even though he is already in his mid-80s, Russ still has plenty of gas left in his tank for acting. He even delivered his role as Dr. Lawrence Jacoby in Twin Peaks in 2017 and appeared in an episode of The Haunting of Hill House the year after.
