Biography
Matt Ross is an American actor and filmmaker born January 3, 1970. He rose to prominence playing deeply flawed authority figures: polygamist patriarch Alby Grant on HBO's Big Love (2006–11) and the scheming venture-capitalist Gavin Belson on Mike Judge's Silicon Valley (2014–19). Before those signature roles, Ross appeared in high-profile indie and studio films including The Last Days of Disco (1998), American Psycho (2000), and The Aviator (2004). In 2016, he wrote and directed Captain Fantastic, a comedy-drama that earned him recognition beyond acting. Ross works across screenwriting and acting, bringing precision to morally ambiguous characters. Born under Capricorn, his career reflects the sign's affinity for strategic, controlled performance—characters built on discipline rather than charm. His 3 life-path numerology aligns with creative expression and communication across multiple mediums. A US citizen, Ross has anchored some of the decade's sharpest satires of power and masculinity.
