Biography

A versatile character actress, Rusty Schwimmer has appeared in both serious dramas and silly comedies, her heavyset shape and fiery red hair easily setting her apart from her peers.

And they were like, 'What the hell is this?' Then all of a sudden, I switched into my Chicago gangster voice: 'What the fuck are you doin'!? What the fuck da you want!?' And they were dying. They asked me to do it again because they were laughing so hard. Then they brought in Leslie Jordan and put us together, and Leslie is like a little elf, and an incredible actor.
