Russ is a man that Rachel dates for one episode in The One With Russ. He looks and acts eerily similar to Ross. This freaks out everyone except Rachel and Ross, who is very jealous of him.

The group tries to convince Rachel that by dating Russ, she is really dating Ross, but she says that aside from similar names, she sees no similarity between Ross and Russ. She does agree that he reminds her of Bob Saget, however. Ross and Russ get into an argument at Central Perk and Rachel sees this, finally seeing how similar they really are. She repeats "Ew, ew," as she walks away.

At the end of the episode, Russ talks to Phoebe and Chandler and informs them that Rachel broke up with him. Julie enters and meets eyes with Russ.

It's worth noting that Russ apparently never mentioned what his last name was to any of the friends-which leaves open the possibility that he may, in fact, actually be a member of the Geller family, which would explain why he looks and behaves so strangely similar to Ross, if they are related. If this is true, however, they are clearly distant relatives who are unaware of each other's existence, as they didn't seem to recognize each other.
