AURORA, Colo. — At 95 years old, Mark Russell lives a relatively quiet life in Aurora these days. But his home is decorated with photos of his heroic service to our country, and a career that brought him celebrity status.“That was the beginning of my beautiful career. I wasn’t a big star, but I worked with the best,” he said.
After training in Japan, Russell’s company was sent to the front lines in Korea. In 1952, he came under fire at Heartbreak Ridge. It was a scene reminiscent of the film"M*A*S*H," which Russell said he was never a big fan of. But he did love movies and television, and after the war, he returned to California, where he had worked in the mail room at Paramount Studios.
His passion was always acting and singing and within a short time, Russell was being cast in small roles in some of the biggest shows in the 1960s. His IMDB credits include roles in"Bonanza,""The Twilight Zone,""Hogan’s Heroes," and"The Fugitive," just to name a few. But his biggest break came when"Kojak" premiered in 1973. Russell was cast in the recurring role of Detective Percy Saperstein.
