Even at the tender age of just 14, Ross knew that his future lay with the theatre. As a boy, he dreamt of one day treading the boards in the footsteps of the luminary actors that had inspired him at such a young age. Years later, he would realise that dream with his first engagement, acting alongside Hollywood legend Lauren Bacall. Within one week of finishing Drama School, Ross was offered a part in a block-busting theatre production by legendary theatre director Terry Hands.
Unbeknown to Ross, The Royal Shakespeare Company already had plans for him as leading theatre director Ian Judge had seen Ross perform at the Chichester Festival Company. Recognising his considerable acting potential, Judge offered Ross the opportunity to play opposite fellow RSC actors Joseph Fiennes, Ray Fearon, Victoria Hamilton and Stephen Billington. In his first appearance for the Royal Shakespreare Company, Ross played the character of 'Ajax' in Troilus and Cressida - making him a protagonist actor in the RSC at the age of just 21.
People often ask Ross how a respected classical actor would end up in the ultra-camp stage musical, The Rocky Horror Show (soundtrack available on CD from Amazon). Ross' answer is always the same... "It was the funniest thing I had ever done - I had no intention to do more then 2 month in the show but I fell in love with it". During his two years with the production, he performed opposite Jason Donovan, Michael Cashman, Shane Fenton, Darren Day and Laurie Brett.
