         In 1999, preparing to film The Perfect Storm in Gloucester, an actor found himself in East Bridgewater, researching life in New England. What better way than to quiz to an old-time barber? 

At Russ’s he asked for a "haircut that doesn’t look like a haircut." Russ thought this person was an average Joe. The man asked Russ about the locals and life in EB. Little did Russ know the actor was George Clooney. 

             Russ's friends invited him to see The Perfect Storm. To his amazement, there was the man on screen that had been in his chair. In an interview, George said Russ was the best barber he had ever had. Today, Russ still gives everyone the same time and attention he gave Geroge Clooney, he prides himself in providing a place to break from the world and spruce up.
