Ross attended Fox Run elementary school in Norwalk and was a graduate of Greens Farms Academy and Oberlin College, where he majored in English and minored in film studies. After interning at Entertainment Weekly in New York City, he moved to California, where he freelanced for newspapers and websites around the country, including The Hour. For the past several years he has been the principle film critic of the San Francisco Examiner and a member of the San Francisco Film Critics Circle.
As a feature writer, he had one-on-one interviews with movie figures including Robert Redford and Woody Allen, and most recently with directors Cameron Crowe ("We Bought a Zoo") and Pedro Almodovar ("The Skin I Live In") and actor Max von Sydow ("Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close"). His editor at the Examiner, Leslie Katz, reports that he was widely respected, by publicists and subjects alike, for his thorough preparation and intelligent questions, as well as his obvious love of movies.
His film preferences were wide-ranging. He could be enthusiastic about a well-made D-movie slasher film as well as personal favorites such as Ingmar Bergman's "Fanny and Alexander" and Woody Allen's "Crimes and Misdemeanors."
Away from the theaters, he was a passionate fan of all teams Boston, especially the Red Sox, a lifelong loyalty passed down from his great-grandfather to his grandfather to his father to him. One of his most joyful moments came in 2004, when the Sox won their first World Series in 86 years and he walked through downtown San Francisco in his team jersey, happily accepting the congratulations of strangers.
"This is the Ross i remember, " wrote another film critic, Omar P.L. Moore. "He was funny and forthright. You always knew where you stood with him, something I like very much in people. Ross would never shine you on. He was a genuine man. And he loved his aisle seat."
