“You’ve seen one of [Tim] Russell’s best impressions on television many times. He’s the actor who does the brilliant imitation of George C. Scott’s impression of Gen. George Patton...” - Rick Shefchik

"Here's lookin' at you, kid."

Check out Tim's WCCO Radio celebrity interview photos. When Tim can't get the stars in the booth, he does their celebrity voices himself. Guess these stars wanted to make sure he got their voices right.

“If you only know him from 'A Prairie Home Companion,' you don't know the half of Tim Russell. Put Tim in a recording booth, and you've got a versatile actor with more voices in his head than Son of Sam...and most of them won't be telling him to kill you. Seriously, Tim is a consommé pro. That's right. When he's not rocking the mic for some national advertiser, he makes an awesome bouillabaisse. "
