Russell Brand

Russell Brand is an English actor and comedian.

Russell is widely known for his controversial and offensive on-stage and off-stage antics. He was introduced to America when he appeared as the host of the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards. MTV invited him back the following year due to the ratings he brought in. His portrayal of Aldous Snow in “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” made him a household name.

Russell had a rough childhood and was brought up around drugs and other illegal activities. By the time he was a teenager he was already a heroin addict and alcoholic. He became clean and is now a huge advocate for those with drug and alcohol addiction.
