	Actors - Russell Gilbert

Russell Gilbert (born 17 October, 1959), is an Australian comedian and actor from Footscray, Victoria.

He has appeared in many Australian TV comedies, first attracting notice as 'Russ the Postie' on The Comedy Company (1988-89), which led to a decade-long stint on Hey Hey It's Saturday (1990-1999). In the late 1990s he began starring in his own Nine Network shows, all of which were short-lived: The Russell Gilbert Show (1998), a sketch comedy show; Russell Gilbert Live (2000), a Saturday-evening variety show featuring celebrity interviews, and live and sketch comedy; and Russell Gilbert Was Here! (2001), another sketch series. He also hosted dog game show Bark-Off (2003) with Livinia Nixon. In 2004, he ventured into radio, as host of Weekend Leave Pass on SEN 1116 with Mark Fine.

Russell has acted in three Australian films: Nirvana Street Murder
(1990), Ned Kelly (1993) and The Extra
(2005), and appeared unbilled in the Jason Donovan telemovie Loot (2004).

Gilbert is also a passionate supporter of the Western Bulldogs (formerly Footscray Football Club).
