    Son of Marion Ross

Why he might be annoying:

    Most of his acting are bit parts.
    He did improv on the UK version of 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?'
    He is a favorite of Ron Howard perhaps because he is the son of Marion Ross who portrayed Howard's mom on 'Happy Days.' He appeared in Ron Howard's 'The Paper', 'Apollo 13', 'Ed TV' and 'The Grinch who Stole Christmas.'
    He is a Scientologist.
    He appeared in the box office disaster 'Battlefield Earth' with 'John Travolta', another Scientologist.
    Despite appearing on the British 'Whose Line,' he was rejected for the American version.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He claimed his mom, Marion Ross, was 'a gifted mimic and would imitate accents of people and i said this is in this family.'
    He does all the impressions on Jib Jab.
    His first voice for Jib Jab was that of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
    When asked if he could do Kerry's voice, he said 'Yeah, i can do Kerry. what does Kerry sound like.'
    From 1987 through 1992 he was the spokesman for Skaggs Alpha Beta grocery stores for which he improvised commercials that garnered a collection of prestigious advertising awards.
    During his years as an art student, he traveled several times to Galicia, Spain to study realist oil painting with the world renowned artist 'Miguel Arguello,' with whom he apprenticed.
    He and his wife are very active in the LA Theatre scene.
    His web-site ( http://www.appliedsilliness.com ) offers helpful advice for those trying to become an actor, enter the theatre or take up improv.
