Der Schauspieler Russell Hicks gehörte zu den meistbeschäftigten Darstellern. Seine Laufbahn als Nebendarsteller umfasst rund 300 Filme, die vornehmlich in den 30er bis 50er Jahren entstanden.

Seine erste kleine Rolle verkörperte er im Klassiker "The Birth of a Nation" (15) von D.W. Griffith, dem gleich ein weiterer Klassiker mit "Intolerance" (16) - ebenfalls von Griffith - folgte.

Seine eigentliche schauspielerische Laufbahn begann jedoch erst in den 30er Jahren, wo er innert kürzester Zeit ein äusserst begehrter Darsteller, der meist respektvolle Figuren wie Richter, Geschäftsmänner, Anwälte oder Offiziere darstellte, aber auch grossväterliche Rollen spielte

Zu seinen bekanntesten Filmen der 30er Jahre gehören "Murder in the Clouds" (34), "Cardinal Richelieu" (35), "Charlie Chan in Shanghai" (35), "Hearts in Bondage" (36), "Ticket to Paradise" (36), "In Old Chicago" (37), "Espionage" (37), "Kidnapped" (38), "Gateway" (38), "That Certain Age" (38), "The Three Musketeers" (39), "The Story of Alexander Graham Bell" (39), "Union Pacific" (39) und "Hotel Imperial" (39).

In den 40er Jahren agierte er in einer Fülle weiterer Filme und spielte mit vielen Stars der damaligen Zeit zusammen.
Unter anderem spielte er in den Produktionen "Virginia City" (40), "The Bank Dick" (40), "The Return of Frank James" (40), "Western Union" (41), "Blood and Sand" (41), "Sergeant York" (41), "The Little Foxes" (41), "We Were Dancing" (42), "Tarzan's New York Adventure" (42), "Hitler - Dead or Alive" (42), "Captain America" (44), "Dark Alibi" (46), "Plainsman and the Lady" (46), "Exposed" (47), "The Velvet Touch" (48) und "Samson and Delilah" (49).

Russell Hicks war es vergönnt, bis kurz vor seinem Tod aktiv als Schauspieler tätig zu bleiben und er verkörperte in seinen letzten Lebensjahren weitere unzählige Rollen, wobei auch das Fernsehen einen grösseren Stellenwert in seiner Laufbahn einnahm.

Zu seinen letzten Filmen zählen "The Flying Saucer" (50), "As You Were" (51), "Rodeo" (52), "The Maverick" (52), "Man of Conflict" (53), "Once Upon a Honeymoon" (56), "7th Cavalry" (56) und eine Episode der Serie "West Point: The Drowning of the Gun" (57).
