Summary

Kurt Russell is a strong contender for a pivotal role in Kate Hudson's popular Netflix series, "Running Point." Discussions about casting the veteran actor have taken place, and the show's cast and executive producers are reportedly very supportive of the idea.
Actors like Scott MacArthur and Fabrizio Guido, along with executive producer Jeanie Buss and producer David Stassen, have all voiced their excitement about Russell potentially joining the series. Stassen even hinted that discussions have already occurred, stating that Russell would be an ideal choice if he were to appear on the show.
"Running Point," which returns for its new season on April 23, stars Hudson as a former party girl tasked with leading her family's professional basketball team. The series has a history of featuring notable guest stars.
Interestingly, Kate Hudson previously revealed that she turned down a role in Kurt Russell's 1996 film "Escape from L.A." She felt taking the part would define her career based on her relationship with Russell rather than her talent. Russell, who has been with Hudson's mother, Goldie Hawn, since 1983, was instrumental in inspiring Hudson's acting career, as she recalled enjoying the atmosphere on his film sets.
