At 15, Gross became the youngest professional racquetball player in the history of the sport, winning a record number of Southern California tournaments in the years leading up to his retirement at the age of 26.

Among the more notable ventriloquist's dummy characters in the stage act is Steve, The Customer Service Guy, a soft puppet who dispenses computer repair support by telephone.

In 2013, Gross created a video depicting a spin on the classic cut-in-half illusion that he dubs the "Split Man" trick,[2] which makes it appear as though the entertainer has been severed in two but is still able to walk about.

The video, shot guerrilla-style in various public places in which unsuspecting passersby are jarred by the sudden appearance of his 'Split Man', premiered on the Web before being showcased on a variety of national platforms.

Gross owns a sizeable and significant collection of ventriloquist dummies and memorabilia, which frequently supplies props for television, film, and stage productions.
