Gary Gross grew up in Lakeland, Florida and has spent the last 25 years working at the Lakeland Police Department. He got his big break as a Police Technical Advisor on the set of "Endure", the Polk-based crime thriller written and directed by Joe O'Brien. As a consultant for the film starring Judd Nelson, Devon Sawa and Tom Arnold, he put his knowledge to work and even ended up as an extra himself in the film. Early on in his career, Gary worked the set of Edward Scissorhands and a music video with Billy Idol as security giving him a taste of Hollywood. Gary continues work full time as Police Sergeant while working part-time in the film/TV industry mostly as a police technical advisor.
