Cracking the Code: Who’s the Gladiator Russell?

This week’s crossword puzzle threw me for a loop! I breezed through most of the clues, but one stubbornly resisted my best efforts. It was a straightforward-looking clue, but the answer just wouldn’t come to me.

The clue was simply:

“Russell of Gladiator.”

Now, I’m a huge fan of historical epics, and I know my Roman history. But for the life of me, I couldn’t place a Russell connected to “Gladiator.” Was it an actor? A director? A historical figure?

I spent a good hour researching, combing through cast lists, and scouring historical texts. I even consulted my trusty encyclopedia of Roman history. Frustration was starting to set in, but I refused to give up!

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the answer dawned on me! It was a simple, yet clever, wordplay that I completely missed.

Want to give it a try? See if you can crack this clue before I reveal the answer!
