I was an extra in his movie Cinderella Man. He’s a very kind person who cares about the people he works with. In the last days of shooting at the frm. Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, there was a small fire near the ring area where he was about to shoot a scene. People began to see smoke and yell “fire!!” Russel was genuinely worried and actually began to advance in the direction of the fire. Not many Hollywood actors would put themselves in harms way.
