Biography
Ross Partridge began his career as character actor who specialized in playing everymen (often with an urban edge). He first bowed with a small role in the 1992
Christian Slater police comedy
Kuffs, then landed a lead in the direct-to-video shocker Amityville: A New Generation (1993) and a bit part in
Steven Spielberg's The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997). Shortly thereafter, Partridge became involved with
Kevin Spacey's production shingle, Trigger Street Productions, a label that backed his debut as a writer/director, the little-seen and critically panned mystery-psychodrama hybrid
Interstate 84 (2000). Partridge's work as a producer for Trigger continued unabated for a time despite the middling success of this debut, with the up-and-comer placing his strongest emphasis on documentaries, notably the 2002 efforts
Uncle Frank and America Rebuilds: A Year at Ground Zero. Within a few years, however, he returned to work in front of the camera, with a recurring part in the daytime soap opera
As the World Turns, and roles in the A-list shocker
Prom Night and the Duplass Brothers' indie darling
Baghead (2008). ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
