Born in New York City, Ross was a graduate of Brown University and, while living in France, continued his studies at the Sorbonne and the University of Nancy.

Ross appeared in 20th Century Fox films including Kiss of Death (1947) and The Gunfighter (1950); in the Warner Bros. courtroom drama Perfect Strangers (1950) the Nicholas Ray-directed film noir, On Dangerous Ground (1952), and in the popular serial Mysterious Island (1951). He also appeared as the "Producer" in The Country Girl, both the movie and the Broadway production as well as the "Professor" in the Broadway production of Bus Stop.
He appeared in many television productions, including the 1954 CBS series The Telltale Clue in which he starred as police captain Richard Hale.
