Rick Rossovich Net Worth $800,000
Rick is the son of Croatian father and Italian mother; his paternal great-great grandfather is from Mošćenička Draga, Croatia. He has an older brother, Tim, who was a professional American Football player.
Little is known about Rick’s growing up and early life on the whole, until he made his acting debut in 1978, in the TV series “Fantasy Island” (1978-1980). He made several other minor appearances in TV series such as “B.J. and the Bear” (1981), and “Eight Is Enough” (1981), before he made his film debut in the thriller “The Lords of Discipline” in 1983. The following year he featured in James Cameron’s sci-fi action “The Terminator”, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton and Michael Biehn, and then in 1986 featured in the action drama “Top Gun”, with Tom Cruise, Kelly McGillis and Val Kilmer in the lead roles. In 1987 he had his breakthrough in the romantic comedy “Roxanne”, appearing next to Steve Martin and Daryl Hannah, and then in 1988 teamed up with Serbian director Slobodan Šijan in the film “Tajna manastirske rakije”, translated to “Cognac”, and in 1989 starred in the horror thriller “Paint It Black” – all contributed steadily to his net worth.
He started the ‘90s with the role of Spud Lincoln in the TV comedy series “Sons and Daughters” (1991), and then in 1993 starred in the mystery drama “Tropical Heat”, next to Maryam d’Abo and Lee Anne Beaman. Unfortunately, Rick just couldn’t land any really notable roles throughout his career, which certainly had negative effect on his net worth. Although he has continued to act until the present day, only a few roles are worth mentioning, such as Lt. Anthony Palermo in the TV action crime series “Pacific Blue” (1996-1998), in which he appeared in 57 episodes, which increased his net worth to a large degree. In the 2000s he made only a few appearances, including as Bret Rogers in Jim Amatulli’s romantic drama “Artworks” (2003), starring Virginia Madsen, and Eddie Mills. After that he had an hiatus from acting, but returned in the film “Sandbar” in 2012. Most recently, he is working on the adventure drama film “Where the Streets Have No Name”, scheduled for release in 2018.
Regarding his personal life, Rick has been married to Eva Rossovich since 1985 with whom he has two children.
