Thanks to Bolivar Baez for the following which seems legit but playing it safe so posting in rumours.
I was reading the Jeremy Davies's forum at IMDB and read this post:
"I just came from the Lost set, where I was working as an extra for the day. Jeremy was playing an Oxfordian professor of physics. The crew placed cast me as a student. I didn't have any lines, but Jeremy ended up delivering a couple lines to me.
He thanked me after every take (!) for holding on to one of the props, which he totally didn't have to do, and he also thanked me for my patience. It was a real pleasure to work with him and to see how everything works on the Lost set. I hadn't heard his name before today (though I did recognize him from Saving Private Ryan), but I'll remember him for having a gracious and gregarious attitude. What a nice dude."

If this is true (and I don't really doubt it), I think it confirms that Davies is the "Russell" character (the brilliant mathematician with a soft spot for the paranormal).
A physicist on the island would likely be wanting to study what the hell happened when the Swan failsafe key was activated.
Wow, this is a cool find. It seems pretty genuine as well. Maybe this is for episode 2?
WOW - I live in Oxford - maybe I've seen him around!!!
Also, the date of the post matches the filming dates of Episode 6, which is Juliet-centric.
I have been digging into this too much. I just found this, which was reported around the same time of the post. "several days’ worth of shooting at the Others’ camp out at the YMCA’s Camp Erdman, with several actors sighted — some we’ve never seen in Othersville, and some we’ve not seen anywhere in a long time."
So maybe Jeremy Davies was teaching at Othersville.
I was totally expecting Jeff Fahey to be the 'Russell' character. This blows it open...
Somebody posted on Lostpedia that it should be mentioned that 'Russell Faraday' is an alias given to the main character at the end of Stephen King's 'the Stand'.....
So Russel = Daniel Faraday
Can't say I'm happy with Lost ripping names from other media that is hardly on a pedestal above it.
Famous philosophers - cool, but Stephen King? Hmmm.
I still love that they're putting the dude that played Manson on this show.
Isn't he the dude des is friends with when des somehow relived when he asked for a job err widmore (guy's the epidomy of asshole)'s permission to marry his daughter.....?
