Russell Hicks

actor, writer

Russell Hicks was born on Jun 04, 1895 in USA. Russell Hicks's big-screen debut came with The Birth of a Nation directed by D.W. Griffith in 1915, strarring Minor Role (uncredited). Russell Hicks is known for Racket Squad directed by James Tinling, Reed Hadley stars as Capt. John Braddock and Hugh Beaumont as Narrator (prologue). The upcoming new tvshow Russell Hicks plays is Date with the Angels - Season 1 which will be released on May 10, 1957.

Tall, distinguished-looking Russell Hicks appeared in almost 300 films in his more than 40-year career (although his first known screen appearance was in 1915, he has screenwriting credits as early as 1913, so it's possible his screen debut was earlier than credited). His cultured bearing, grandfatherly appearance and soothing, resonant voice were perfect for the many military officers, attorneys, judges and business executives he excelled at playing. He was especially memorable in an atypical role as oily, fast-talking phony-stock salesman J. Frothington Waterbury in the W.C. Fields classic Mines de rien (1940). Hicks made his last film in 1956, and died the next year.
