Jerry Ross, aka Gerardo Rossi, is an Italian actor who is famous for his career in fotoromanzi and cinema. He appeared in seven films between 1967 and 1973, but his fotoromanzi career - which started in the same year - was still going strong in the year 2000, making him one of the longest lasting stars of the medium. His film debut came in the 1967 film Colt in the Hand of the Devil, directed by Sergio Bergonzelli. This western starred Bob Henry as a hired gun paid to track down and eliminate a gang of Mexican bandits led by George Wang. Despite being his debut, Ross had reasonably prominent billing and a great role. Rather than capitalize on it, though, Ross moved into the more lucrative fotoromanzi field, appearing regularly in publications like Lancio, and it would be four years before he appeared in another film: Black Killer, directed by Carlo Croccolo in 1971, Ross played opposite international star Klaus Kinski. In 1972, Ross stars as Wild Bill Hickok in Django Story. Unsurprisingly, this one didn't break any box office records but undoubtedly made him a rising star. In the same year, Fidani and Ross also made another film: Jungle Master. A late entry in the 'Jungle Girl' sequence of films - Again, Ross has a notable if not starring performance. In 1973 Ross was reunited with Sergio Bergonzelli for Our Lady of lust. Ross was the second credited male actor after Vassili Karis. His last film saw him team up once again with Demofilo Fidani for The Godfather's Advisor (1973). Ross turned his back on cinema and concentrated fully on fotoromanzi, appearing in over 100 issues of Lancio - both as protagonist and antagonist - as well as in numerous other releases from publishers such as Rizzoli.
