The actor, Russ Tamblyn has been active in the industry since the late 40s. Yes, you got that right, he’s been in the industry for over 4 decades! Aside from acting, he is also a gifted dancer. This particular talent led him landing some major roles in various productions during that time including the 1961 musical West Side Story. The show industry did not discover his talents.

He is talented and often showcases it as a gymnast and dancer. Later on, he started acting in movies and films.
