Kurt Russell as Stunt Man Mike in Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof

Russell's Not-So-Easy-Ride

Kurt Russell has been working as an actor in Hollywood since he was a
child in the Sixties, but he's about as different as can be from the typical Tinseltown thesp.

For one, he is a card-carrying member of the National Rifle Association and an admitted Republican, something a lot of similar-minded stars have
chosen to keep under wraps in the liberal world of showbiz.

"There were instances where people would call me up and say, 'This
director was afraid of working with you because of your politics'," says the 56-year-old, who dubs himself a libertarian.

"That started to change about 10 years ago," he continues. "Writers
stopped trying to turn me into a wooden Republican along the lines they were doing to Charlton Heston. Now I can go to a party and not feel so outcast."

He is also unafraid to admit that acting is one of the easier
professions, and something that has got him into trouble with those who prefer to play the 'artiste'.

"To go on about acting as art is ridiculous," he admits. "You don't have to be gifted just to hit a mark and say a line. As far as I'm concerned that's 90 per cent of the job. Anyone who finds acting difficult just shouldn't be doing it."

Indeed, the reluctant professional does make his latest role look easy, playing a psychotic driver called Stuntman Mike in Quentin Tarantino's new film, Death Proof.
