IMDb TMDB
1948 – 2022 · Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA · Active 1984–2018

Richard Gross, born in Pittsburgh, PA, has made a mark in cult cinema with his roles in Blades (1988) and Children of the Corn IV: The Gathering (1996). After moving to Los Angeles in the 1960s, he honed his craft in theatre before transitioning to film. In Blades, he contributes to the campy charm of a horror-comedy that parodies slasher tropes, while in Children of the Corn IV, he navigates the eerie atmosphere of rural terror. Gross's diverse background in theater and regional productions enriches his performances in these cult classics.
