Studio executives pressured John Carpenter to cast a seasoned "tough guy" actor for the role of Snake. Among their preferences were Chuck Norris, Nick Nolte, Tommy Lee Jones, and Charles Bronson. However, Carpenter dismissed these choices as either too old (Bronson was sixty years old) or too typecast or simply not right for the part. At the time, twenty-nine old Kurt Russell was best known for light-hearted Disney roles such as "The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes" and had no experience playing gritty action roles. However, Carpenter and Producer Debra Hill both agreed his youth, looks, athleticism, and freshness to the action genre made him the ideal choice for the part.
