Ross began his career in the 1880s, performing in musical comedies and vaudeville. He made his screen debut in the silent film The Burglar's Dilemma (1912) and had supporting roles in W. C. Fields's first two films, Pool Sharks and His Lordship's Dilemma (both 1915). He also supported Cissy Fitzgerald and starred in many comedies himself. At Vim Comedy Company and King-Bee Films starting in 1917, Ross supported a young Oliver Hardy and Chaplin impersonator Billy West in several comedies. Ross and Hardy co-wrote and appeared in the film Tootsies and Tamales (1919). He co-wrote many Peggy comedies in 1925.
