==Career==
===Acting===
So far, the only known acting role for Ross is his role as an emo version of himself. He was also heavily involved in helping Chris and Nick to promote the series early-on. He features prominently in all of season 1, and got strong parts in most of season 2 as well. "Top of the Flops" featured him the most, as he was the focus of that episode. He later had very minor fill-in roles for "Rave New World" and "Uncle Cuddles and Fiddles the Kid," due to his teammates having limited availability. He was a stronger presence in "You Want Cries With That?," where he lent many quips. 
He described in an interview to MTV that most of his lines were ad-libbed from a script that was usually written only a day before - and not read until day-of-shoot"Awkward Interview on MTV.". He wore a wig for season 2, but had various issues with it that led to him not bothering with it after only two episodes in season 2. Viewers were left to assume the character got a haircut for no reason.
He returned briefly in a video chat session for the 2015 special, but couldn't make it to Boise to play the suited-up Ranger. He was therefore replaced for that scene with a CGI model.
===Work outside acting===
Ross has worked at Apps for Good as a mentor since 2014. He has also worked for Apple, Olympic Broadcasting System, and Ogilvy One.
===The Apprentice===
In September of 2017, Ross became a candidate / contestant on the UK Apprentice TV series."Meet Ross Fretten." - "Meet the Candidates." The Apprentice. BBC One. September 2017.
