David Ross
David Michael Ross made his feature film debut in the 2000 Summer Blockbuster release, The Patriot. He attended an open audition and was cast for a very small role which he was told would last approximately 5 days. On his second day of filming the producers put him in a scene with Mel Gibson, Jason Isaacs, and Heath Ledger which was a very pivotal scene in the film. Ross was asked to continue working in the scene until it was complete, which was almost two weeks later. He was given a line in the scene, but eventually was cut. Ross continued to work on other scenes thought the film and as result worked consistently for four months. After “The Patriot”, Ross met with casting directors for a Warner Bros film, Juwanna Mann. He worked with actors ‘Vivica Fox’ and Miguel Nunez for two weeks and got a feel for a comedy film. It was at this time that Ross began writing the feature film Comedy, “Rookies The Movie”, about two bumbling cops that save a small town from a would-be-bandit and his gang, which he and life-long friend Ray Keziah teamed up and wrote, produced and directed. The film was an indie project filmed mostly in their hometown of Norwood, North Carolina in the South. The film featured ‘Sheriff Gerald Hege’ of the infamous “Inside Cell Block F” series on Court TV. Ross also cast Daylan Honeycutt, co-star of the feature film “My Dog Skip” to play the younger version of one of the main characters. Because of Sheriff Hege’s appearance in the film, attention was gained, and it is now in the process of distribution. After “Rookies” Ross appeared in the feature film, The Last Summer (2004).
Since his last acting appearance, Ross has been busy writing. He has sold the film rights to a nationally award winning baseball novel, to be produced as a cable feature or mini-series. He has written several screenplays including a new independent horror that is in post production.
In 2001 Ross was invited to play in a celebrity softball game for charity in Greenville with the cast of NBC’s Daytime Drama, “Days of Our Lives”. Since then he has played every summer with the cast for the Greenville Youth of the Taylor’s Youth Association. He recently appeared in several press photos with the cast in “Soap Opera Weekly”.
David is co-producing several independent features now with Nick Miller, Ray Keziah, and Matthew Ashford of the NBC Daytime Dram “Days Of Our Lives”
