Ross Mackenzie

Born and raised in Weston, Connecticut, Ross graduated from Brown University before entering careers in finance, the music business, and internet start-ups. He discovered his love of acting while living in San Francisco when he took a beginner acting class at night at the American Conservatory Theater (ACT) and was immediately hooked. From there, he enrolled in ACT's full-time Summer Training Congress acting intensive and never looked back. Ross moved to Los Angeles in 2002 and initially divided his time between acting and the advertising world, managing Ford Motor Company's branded entertainment activities on the West Coast as part of the ad agency Team Detroit. During that time, he developed an expertise in branded content which he now uses to produce starring vehicles for himself while engaging brands for funding and distribution. Now acting full-time, Ross has appeared in numerous television shows including Scandal, Arrested Development, Mad Men and New Girl, as well as many national commercials (on-screen and as a voiceover actor) and Oscar-winning feature film Bombshell. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife and two daughters.
