  • William Russell is an English actor. He portrayed the Duke of Winchester in The Black Adder episode "The Archbishop".
  • William Russell, né Russel Enoch le 19 novembre 1924 à Sunderland en Angleterre, est l'acteur ayant interprété le rôle de Ian Chesterton de l'épisode pilote de Doctor Who à The Chase, le huitième épisode de la deuxième saison. Il a ainsi joué l'un des trois premier compagnons du Docteur à apparaître dans la série.
  • For years, ever since the reappearance of Coal Hill School in the worst episode of all time, everyone has been clambering for him to reprise his role as Ian and have him and the Doctor meet up for old times sake. We all know that if this did happen however that the fandom will generally be disappointed; we usually are.
  • Russell appeared in British films from 1950 onwards, appearing in well-known productions such as The Man Who Never Was (1956) and The Great Escape (1963). He later had a minor role in Superman (1978) as a member of the Kryptonian Council. In the 1980s, the actor began using his birth name, Russell Enoch, professionally (although he continues to be credited as William Russell in Doctor Who-related projects), but reverted to William Russell during the 1990s when he took the role of Ted in Coronation Street. He is sometimes also credited as Enoch Russell.
  • His first major acting break was the title role in The Adventures of Sir Lancelot on ITV in 1956. Russell was one of the four original castmembers of Doctor Who in 1963, starring opposite William Hartnell as the Doctor for the first two seasons of the legendary series. Russell continues his involvement with Doctor Who, having lent his voice as a narrator to several of the audio book releases of the 'lost' 1960s episodes. He has also starred in Doctor Who audio dramas and recorded readings of some of the novelisations of Doctor Who episodes. In addition, he has contributed to the Doctor Who DVD range, having participated in several audio commentaries and on-screen interviews since 2002.
  • Ladies and Gentlemen, We are currently engaged in a battle to restore our republic. The best chance right now to win this battle is to elect Ron Paul as President, in that we are all in agreement. But to have the sweeping change in our government that we desire we must also focus on other elected officials and make sure that they hear us loud and clear. Everyone at every level in our government must understand that we no longer want preemptive war, taxation through inflation, taxation by occupation, and that we are not willing to trade one more ounce of liberty for any promise of security in this so called war on terror.

  • Ladies and Gentlemen, We are currently engaged in a battle to restore our republic. The best chance right now to win this battle is to elect Ron Paul as President, in that we are all in agreement. But to have the sweeping change in our government that we desire we must also focus on other elected officials and make sure that they hear us loud and clear. Everyone at every level in our government must understand that we no longer want preemptive war, taxation through inflation, taxation by occupation, and that we are not willing to trade one more ounce of liberty for any promise of security in this so called war on terror. We will need to start looking at congressmen and candidates for congress, and make sure that they hear our cry for liberty. One candidate for congress that I had the chance to talk to for about an hour on the phone one day is William T. Russell who will be running against John Murtha in district 12. During our phone conversation he kept asking for our support but was unwilling to support any of Dr. Paul's issues and was unwilling to go into great detail about the main issues of his platform. As his website came online I read why he was unwilling to discuss the main issues of his candidacy with me, as I expected he is for more preemptive wars and more security from "terrorists". On Monday, November 19th, Mr. Russell will be announcing his candidacy at the Flight 93 Memorial in Somerset, of all places. This sounds to me like Rudy Guilianni tactics, to pump up 9/11 for all that it is worth, to gain political power because of the tragic deaths of thousands of people. He will also be planning campaign stops in Boswell, Latrobe, Uniontown, Waynesburg, Washington, Arnold, Ford City, Indiana, and Johnstown that same day. I would like a group of activists to meet him at every campaign stop and show him that this Ron Paul Revolution is for real, and that if politicians ignore us and ignore our cries for liberty we are not just going to go away. While his current campaign tactic is something that we do not endorse, I still hold out hope for him. Mr. Russell is a family man and a military man. Military men are known for taking orders, and we have to show him that if he wants to get elected to congress then he must start taking his orders from the people and not from the neo-cons that are currently in power. It is not my intention to smear him, only to make him aware that we are out there and he better start listening to us if he wants us to send him to Washington. If you would like to take part in some real activism and promote the freedom message and are free that day please let me know. I'd like to get something organized. In Liberty and Truth, Nick

  • Russell appeared in British films from 1950 onwards, appearing in well-known productions such as The Man Who Never Was (1956) and The Great Escape (1963). He later had a minor role in Superman (1978) as a member of the Kryptonian Council. After starring in several short-lived TV series, including playing the lead in a 1955 series entitled St. Ives, his big break was the title role in The Adventures of Sir Lancelot on ITV in 1956, the sale of which to the NBC network in the USA made it possible for it to be the first British television series to be shot in colour. Following this, he won a role in Doctor Who as one of the Doctor's companions, science teacher Ian Chesterton, appearing in the bulk of the first two seasons of the programme. He has subsequently played a number of roles in theatre and on television, perhaps the highest-profile being Disraeli, Testament of Youth and the part of Ted Sullivan, the short-lived second husband of Rita Sullivan in Coronation Street. (Ted already had a terminal illness when he married Rita in 1992, and died peacefully while watching a cricket match.) He also had a small part in an episode of the first series of Blackadder (1983) as a late replacement for Wilfrid Brambell, who had become impatient with delays to his scene and left the set before shooting it. In the 1980s, the actor began using his birth name, Russell Enoch, professionally (although he continues to be credited as William Russell in Doctor Who-related projects), but reverted to William Russell during the 1990s when he took the role of Ted in Coronation Street. He is sometimes also credited as Enoch Russell. Russell had originally been intended to reprise his character of Ian for the 1983 story Mawdryn Undead, but scheduling conflicts required the story to be rewritten to instead bring back Nicholas Courtney as another, later regular character, the Brigadier. In 1999 he returned to the role of Ian Chesterton for the video release of the Doctor Who serial The Crusade, from which two episodes are currently missing. Russell provided linking narration to cover the gaps, in character as an aged Ian reminiscing about the events of the story. Since 2002 he has also provided audio commentaries for various Doctor Who DVD releases, read audio book versions of three early Doctor Who novelisations featuring Ian and provided linking narration for CD releases of the fan-recorded soundtracks of serials with missing episodes in which he appeared. From 2009, Russell has reprised the role of Ian for Big Finish Productions' Companion Chronicles and The Lost Stories. In 2013 he voiced the First Doctor for the anniversary story The Light at the End. 88 years old at the time of recording, he became the oldest actor to play the Doctor in any medium. He has since reprised the role in subsequent First Doctor releases. In 2013, Jamie Glover played Russell in An Adventure in Space and Time. Russell himself appeared in the production as well, playing a security guard named Harry. William Russell's son is Alfred Enoch, who played in the Harry Potter films.
