Billy Crudup played Russell Hammond in Almost Famous.

From 1996 to November 2003, Billy Crudup dated actress Mary-Louise Parker, with whom he had a son, William Atticus Parker, born on January 7, 2004. He received negative publicity because he left her while she was seven months pregnant.

In 2004, Crudup and his Stage Beauty co-star Claire Danes confirmed that they were dating, but denied press reports that they were together at the time of Crudup's split with Parker. The couple has since split up.
