Kurt Russell and Wyatt Russell – Father and Son Duo Take on the Same Role
The fact that this new show stars not one but two Russells—legendary actor Kurt Russell and his gifted son Wyatt Russell—is among its most intriguing elements. The same character, Lee Shaw, will be portrayed by both father and son at various points in his life.
Wyatt Russell as Young Lee Shaw
Wyatt Russell will fill the role of a young Lee Shaw in the 1950s. Playing the same role as his father across multiple timelines, he commented that it creates a deeper connection than just playing father and son. He expressed excitement about this unique opportunity to portray the character’s formative years.
Kurt Russell as Older Lee Shaw
Kurt Russell, however, will portray the more mature and seasoned Lee Shaw. To ensure a smooth transition between the two ages, he carefully studied his son’s portrayal of Lee in the previous timeline.
