He was born on March 23, 1976 in Fountain Valley, a city in the state of California in the United States. Her mother was a housewife and her father an executive, a fact that caused the Russell family to constantly move from city to city. As a child, Keri was interested in show business, first with dancing, thanks to which she ended up on the New Mickey Mouse Club (1991) program, where she met future stars such as Britney Spears, Ryan Gosling, Justin Timberlake and Christina Aerie. The program served as a springboard to debut on the big screen with Honey, I have enlarged the child (1992).

The starting gun was given, his long career had begun. During the first years she combined small appearances in series such as Me and the world , Married with children or Seven in paradise with roles in television movies. Her return to movie screens came with Dead Man’s Curve (1998), a college drama with a convoluted script. A short time later, she became known to the whole world with the famous series Felicity (1998-2002), where she played a shy young university student in her first year of college.

Russell’s next few years passed without glory with films like the student comedy Crazy About Mambo (2000), in which he plays a young woman who loves to dance, or When We Were Soldiers (2002), a war drama where he coincided with with Mel Gibson . Three years later she would make She Beyond Hate , playing the eldest daughter of a desperate Joan Allen . In 2006 she released The Rothenburg Cannibal , a terrifying thriller based on real events. Impossible Mission III (2006) was the third installment of the spy Ethan Hunt, where Russell played his pupil.

One of his few starring roles was obtained in the culinary comedy   The Waitress (2007). In it, Russell expressed his feelings through messages on cakes. In Beyond Dreams (2008) she worked for Disney in a fantastic comedy in which stories come true. A year later she starred in Leaves of Grass , a passable thriller in which she starred opposite Edward Norton . The film is about marijuana and the intentions of two brothers to destroy a dealer. And in Extraordinary Measures(2010) plays a mother anguished because her children develop a disease with no cure. It is one of the few dramas that she has done that failed to convince critics due to its shallowness.

His name was once again on everyone’s lips thanks to the series The Americans (2011). Keri is a Soviet spy infiltrated in the United States in order to help her country by reporting American movements. The series has garnered very good reviews. The actress has two children, the result of her marriage to Shean Deary, from whom she separated in 2013 after six years of marriage. In 2014, she starred in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes , where she played a biologist trying to make peace with these animals.
