Black skin has increased melanin production, which better protects against damaging ultraviolet rays from the sun and keeps us looking younger longer. It's like winning the skincare lottery because you don't really have to worry about wrinkles as much, says Gervaise Gerstner, M.D., a cosmetic dermatologist in NYC.
The character of Russ, who was a lookalike of Ross was played by none other than David Schwimmer himself. He hasn't been credited as himself, but as Snaro because he wanted it to be mystery to the viewers. The name Snaro is an alias of Schwimmer himself. That's Russ. That's Ross.
Russ' career as an actor, dancer, choreographer, director and artist has spanned nearly six decades. Born Dec. 30, 1934 into a show business family, Russ has performed in every kind of venue, from small playhouses to Madison Square Garden. His roots began in the heyday of Hollywood; he was discovered by Lloyd Bridges who gave 10 year old Russ his first part in a play, Stone Jungle. This launched Russ into an extensive career in motion pictures, television and theatre.
