Movies starring Kurt Russell

Biography: When he and director John Carpenter were discussing the character of MacReady in "The Thing (1982)", they thought about making MacReady a former Vietnam chopper pilot who felt displaced by his service in the war and, as a result, was much more isolated than the other characters. This ultimately did not make it into the film.
