I used this photo of an incredibly well hung guy as an illustration for my profile of the Norwegian Fire Viking. He looks a lot like the incredibly cute Russell Posner, so I thought I would do a profile, on the off chance that they are the same person.
Turns out that the incredibly cute Russell Posner is not too easy to track down.
Famous Birthdays promises "A complete biography," but the complete biography consists of: "Canadian actor, born in 2003."
Rotten Tomatoes adds: "began acting in commercials while in elementary school, and made his stage debut in Lost in Yonkers in 2012." When he was nine years old?
Broadway World likewise promises a "complete biography," and says only that he starred in The Mist.
His listing on We Audition says only that he's a "New York based actor"
Trying to find him by googling "Russell Posner" and any of "high school," "college," "theater," "commercials," "Canada," and "actor" yields a guy from Florida who died at age 77 and a postdoctoral researcher in oncology.
Plus a shirtless photo of an incredibly cute guy who doesn't look like him.
Russell has 14 acting credits listed on the IMDB, beginning with the 11 year old son in Eugene! (2012), a tv movie starring Eugene Mirman.
Next Russell played the son of a journalist who decides to research The Pirates of Somalia (2017).
Russell's most famous work to date is in The Mist (2017), based on the Stephen King novel. I just read the plot synopsis on the fan wiki, but it sounds incredibly homophobic:
As a murderous mist descends upon the town, high school Adrian (Russell) is at a party with his girlfriend, getting bullied for being gay (wait, that doesn't...). Later while taking refuge in a hospital, he kisses Tyler (Chris Gray), who beats him up, then relents and agrees to sex.
He is kidnapped by a psych ward patient who sees "the incredible evil" in him. They must mean being gay.
His Dad says that he could have loved him "in spite of being gay," if only he were "right in the head." In spite of?
