One of Russ' favorite movies is Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. One of his favorite actors is the late William Marshall, who appeared on the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "The Ultimate Computer" as Doctor Richard Daystrom. Russ once cited his favorite TOS episodes as "Assignment: Earth", "All Our Yesterdays", and "Balance of Terror". (Star Trek: Communicator issue 101, p. 53)
