Born in 1946, Ed O'Ross has carved a niche in cult cinema with his memorable roles. He is perhaps best known for his portrayal of the ruthless Georgian mobster Viktor Rostavili in Red Heat (1988), where his intense presence stands out against the film's explosive backdrop. O'Ross also shines as police detective Cliff Willis in The Hidden (1987), a film that blends sci-fi with crime thriller elements. His work in Action Jackson (1988) further solidifies his status in the action genre, making him a notable figure in the SassyFlix catalog.
Action Jackson
Due to the use of excessive force in arresting a sexual predator, Detective Lt. Jericho "Action" Jackson is demoted to police sergeant. What's worse, the father of the man he roughed up, Detroit industrialist Peter Dellaplane, declares war on Jackson, framing him for the murder of his own wife, Patrice. But Jericho manages to elude arrest and, with the help of a drug-addicted singer named Sydney, goes after Dellaplane.
