He was unavailable for much of the shoot, although while filming the scene where Big Beard confronts Captain Jumpa, Russell approached and offered to film his planned scenes then.

2017[]

Russell was planned to reprise his role as Russell for The Legend of the Creepy Guy in the Woods, and was to film it in either January or February 2017.

This was changed in later drafts of the script, and Russell was brought back to reprise the role a third and final time.

In March 2017, Russell was confirmed to return as Colonel Crunch in Bread's Crumbs 4: Mass Consumption. It was initially noted that his role may be cut from the story due to scheduling conflicts.
