His career transitioned from television sitcoms to film, where he appeared in a variety of cult classics. In The Naked Zoo (1970), Ross showcases his comedic timing alongside a cast that explores the absurdities of desire. He later starred in Gas Pump Girls (1979), a quintessential example of the era's raunchy humor.
