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.
He is the son of Sally Aileen (Triplett) and Eddie Tamblyn (Edward Francis Tamblyn), both actors and entertainers. Discovered at age ten by actor Lloyd Bridges for the play Stone Jungle, Russ was soon performing on radio and in L.A.-based musical revues. Billed as Rusty Tamblyn then, the tousle-haired scrapper played a student extra in his first film The Boy with Green Hair (1948) starring another child actor, Dean Stockwell.
