Although Russell is best known for her acting, she studied at Starstruck dance studio in a suburb of Denver. She was on the show from 1991 to 1993 and co-starred with future pop stars Chasen Hampton, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, JC Chasez, Justin Timberlake, and Ryan Gosling. Russell appeared on Married with Children in a 1995 episode (“Radio Free Trumaine”, production 9.24). When Felicity ended, Russell took a break from acting. Russell subsequently made her off-Broadway stage debut in 2004, appearing opposite Jeremy Piven, Andrew McCarthy, and Ashlie Atkinson in Neil LaBute’s Fat Pig. Although a number of her Felicity co-stars went on to appear in producer J. J. Abrams’ series, Alias, Russell declined invitations to be part of the show. Before she was in Mission Impossible: III, she was screen tested for the role of Lois Lane in Superman Returns but lost the role to Kate Bosworth.
