Joseph Raymond (Joe) Maross (1923-2009) was an American actor of stage and a few notable films in a career spanning over four decades. From 1952, he worked predominantly on television in supporting or guest roles, often with intensity as an authority figure or criminal, in westerns or military dramas. His versatility made it impossible for him to be typecast. It would have been hard through the 1970s to turn your television on and not find Maross guest-starring. Just do not expect him to ever show up on The Tonight Show. His list is endless but perhaps known for one of two The Twilight Zone episodes, "Third From the Sun" (1960) or his two appearances on Alfred Hitchcock Presents. He essentially had only three recurring roles, however, for Peyton Place (1968-69), Code Red (1981-82) and Dallas (1983). After his stint in the Marine Corps during World War II, the Pennsylvania native attended Yale University earning his theater arts degree in 1947.
