From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Russell Waters (born June 10, 19081982) was a Scottish film actor.

Stocky sandy-haired Scottish actor Russell Waters generally found himself in mild mannered roles. In the manner of Dave O'Brien, star of Hollywood's Pete Smith Specialities, Waters achieved instant audience recognition as the leading man in Richard Massingham's amusing instructional short subjects, among them Tell Me If It Hurts (1936), And So Work (1937), The Daily Round (1947) and What a Life (1948).

In feature films, Waters played such secondary roles as Craggs in The Blue Lagoon (1949), Mr. West in Happiest Days of Your Life and "Wings" Cameron in The Wooden Horse (both in 1950). Russell Waters remained in films until 1974, when he was briefly seen as the Harbourmaster in The Wicker Man
