His voice helped him break into movies because he was quickly cast in roles which required crew members to sing and he was frequently hired by the studios to provide vocals for several of their movies.
Feeling the itch to be in front of the camera, Ross joined the Screen Extras Guild in the 1940s. This turned out to be a good move by him because they really started spending more money to turn large budgeted movies into a reality. This lead to frequent and steady work. He was able to use his ethnic looking completion to appear in a lot of movies where dignified Spaniards were needed.
