Mission: Impossible III’s Keri Russell Recalls Shooting ‘Epic Gun Battle Scene’ With Tom Cruise, Including His Suggestion On What To Do If Her Hair Caught On Fire



Four years after her time on the TV series Felicity came to an end, Keri Russell made her blockbuster movie debut in Mission: Impossible III, where she played Lindsey Farris. Although her time in this installment of the Mission: Impossible film series was relatively short, Russell at least got to shine alongside franchise lead Tom Cruise in what she described in a recent interview as an “epic gun battle scene.” The actress recalled what it was like participating in this action sequence, and that included sharing the suggestion Cruise gave on what to do if her hair caught on fire.

Russell sat down with Variety to play a game of guessing lines from some of her most well-known projects, with this happening just weeks before she’s seen reprising Kate Wyler in The Diplomat Season 2. While she couldn’t remember that “I’m out! How many rounds you got?” came from Mission: Impossible III, she had no trouble remembering the experience of shooting the gun scene from the 2006 action movie. She started off by saying:

Epic gun battle scene, epic. Oh my God. First of all, Tom Cruise does most his own stunts.So because they’re seeing his face, I got to do it too. Like, jump out of a building that’s about to explode, landing on top of a van as it pulls away. And he goes, ‘Listen, if we’re jumping down and your hair catches on fire, just shake it out.’ I was like, ‘Ok, really?’ P.S., I have a lot more hair than he does.
