Happy Birthday James Russo!!!

James Russo is at his best when he's yelling at the top of his lungs or terrorizing someone. Just about every movie I have seen him in features the actor playing an unhinged screamer. Most people recall his scare performance in "Extremities" as a psycho rapist or as a nutcase actor berating Madonna in "Dangerous Game." His greatest role, however, is a small one. In "Fast Times at Ridgemont Hight," Russo appears as a scary hold-up man at the movie's conclusion...classic scene.

Well, Russo turns 58 today, so here's a psychotic shout out to the man who made shouting so cool.
