Before They Were Stars: Russell Brand in “Mud”

I particularly love the “Before They Were Stars” features where I can spotlight a future star in a role where they couldn’t look any more different than they do right now. Since it’s Russell Brand’s birthday today, here’s your chance to see a clean-shaven short-haired virtually unrecognizable 19-year old version of him in his first acting role on a BBC children’s show called Mud. Anyway, this particular clip is taken from a BBC show called Almost Famous, so consider this a “before they were stars-within-a-before they were stars” segment.
