KURT RUSSELL

Russell, who played infamous anti-hero SNAKE PLISSKEN in the JOHN CARPENTER-directed original, has taken issue with the casting of the 300 star because he's not American.

Russell, 56, says, "When I was told my initial reaction was, 'Oh man.'

"I do think that character was quintessentially one thing - and that's American."
