Scottish Actor · Edinburgh & London
Army veteran and champion MMA fighter turned performer - bringing the discipline and physicality of a trained combat athlete to commanding lead and supporting roles across film, television and stage.
Represented by Flat50 Management
Ross is a Scottish actor with bases in Edinburgh and London. Before turning to the screen he served in the Army - an experience that forged the discipline, focus and presence he brings to every role. He is a champion MMA fighter with advanced unarmed-combat and firearm skills.
That background gives his work a distinctive physicality. A qualified First Aider with firearms training, Ross is as at home in a period costume as he is in full stage combat, and he holds a valid UK passport and full driving licence.
He is currently building a body of work across feature film, television and stage, with a slate of 2026 features in development and post-production.
