Russ Forga has been acting in the Orlando area for a few short years and already Tim magazine has called him the greatest American actor since Arnold Swarzenegger and Jackie Chan.
Early this centrury he left the Northern Plains where he grew up. When the frostbitten brains of the people of his state chose ex-wrestlers, anchormen, and failed comedians to govern them, he knew it was time to go.
He had raced in the midwest for several years and competed in the the Nascar Winston weekly racing series. He managed dozens of wins, hundreds of wrecks, and was a five time winner of the coveted "Sexiest Legs in Nascar" award.
After rambling around Florida for a couple years he found an ad in his neighbor's newspaper for movie extras. That got him into the movie Beethoven's Big Break. Wanting more he began to study acting with the world renowned teacher Sir Nigel Whatisface. He mastered the great man's unique techniques and headed out into show business.
Among his long list of credits are Hershell Gordon Lewis' classic "The Uh-Oh Show", episodes of Forensic Files and Dr. G, and about 72 other features, pilots, shorts, etc.
As Russ said, "This is the greatest career any could hope for. Thank God my wife has a good job."

"Russ has an answer for everything. Lately, it's followed by 'your Honor.'"
