Ross: In my spare time, I am active in outdoor sports and fitness. I like to do anything from snowboarding, surfing, hiking, mountain biking and anything with a board. I love being outside and I try to do as much outdoor activity as possible. I love to travel and read.
Ross (on his character, Bailey, from Beyond the Break): I play Bailey Reese who is one of the best professional surfers on the circuit. He surfs for WaveSync, which is the same company that the girls surf for. He lives in the loft behind the WaveSync house. When I first read the character description on Bailey, I was a little nervous he was going to be one of those one-sided clich?d characters, but that turned out not to be the case at all. He's, actually, an intriguing character to play. In my opinion, (I am not just being biased because I got to play him) he has one of the most interesting and unpredictable storylines out of all the characters. On the surface, he can sort of come off as a wild-man playboy who spends a little too much time with his out of water recreations when he should be water surfing and defending his title. The reality is that he is a big multidimensional character who suffers from many of his own insecurities about the sport of surfing, love and life in general. There are many aspects of his life that he's guarded with, which Bailey sees throughout the season.
Ross (on working with Eugene Levy): I didn't have any scenes directly with him, though I was on set in part of a bigger scene. You have a big, comedic, iconic person like Eugene Levy come on set, and he definitely brings an aura with him. I'm a huge fan of his and I love him in everything he's in, like all of the Christopher Guest movies. He knows his part better than anyone for American Pie. He is one of the major parts of American Pie, so it's really fun to watch him come in with his confidence and his knowledge of the character, and really rub that off on all of us. The guy's got a great attitude. He really validates the movie and brings such a great addition to it. He's outstanding. Just being in the presence of him was a very cool thing to have happen to me as an actor.
