Ross Cook was born in Newburyport, MA. He has four sisters and a brother. His family moved to Mandeville, LA in 1987 and have been there ever since. After graduating from high school he joined the Air Force where he served for eight years working as a crew chief on the F-15 Eagle. He was awarded several medals during his tenure including the Air Force Commendation Medal and was also voted Crew Chief of the Year by his peers of the 159th Fighter Wing. After leaving the service, he married his college sweetheart Kate Butler. In 2009 Ross and a couple of friends bought the LSU "staple hangout" Bogie's Bar in Baton Rouge and they still own it today. Once the bar was working the way all the partners thought it should, Ross had more free time to explore other interests, such as acting. Ever since Ross was a child he had an affinity for movies. With the help of a friend, he started dabbling in background work and immediately took a liking to it. Ross has now done fifteen movies/shows and is always looking forward to his next role.
