The Bold and The Beautiful and Other Film/TV Work
Ronn Moss plays the Saracen hero Ruggero who falls in love with Bradamante in the 1983 Italian film Paladini-storia d'armi e d'amori (aka Paladins—the story of love and arms, aka Hearts and Armor) – a film based on the legends surrounding the Peers of Charlemagne.
In 1987, Moss was offered the role of "Ridge Forrester" on a new soap opera, The Bold and the Beautiful. He accepted the part, and the show is broadcast in many nations across the globe and his role has attracted thousands of fans worldwide. To this day, Moss is best known for this role and he frequently travels overseas to promote the show and his music.
1987 also marks the year of Moss' most critically acclaimed theatrical role as Rowdy Abilene in the Andy Sidaris classic "Hard Ticket to Hawaii."
Ronn Moss has a large fan base in Australia. In 2006, a campaign surfaced to vote Moss as Australian of the Year. Moss recently featured in a television commercial for Berri, an Australian orange juice producer. The punchline of the advertisement was "you can tell when it's not all Aussie"; a line intended to show (in jest) that while Moss has long standing connections with Australia, his Hollywood career has resulted in his persona differing significantly from that of the cliché Australian male. He has appeared occasionally on the former program Rove Live when in Australia. He takes part in sketches that are parodies of daytime TV genre.
The Bold and the Beautiful is a very popular prime-time show in much of Europe; in 2010 Moss was a participant in the Italian Dancing with the Stars, finishing second with his partner, Sara Di Vaira.
On August 11, 2012, it was announced that Ronn Moss would be exiting The Bold and the Beautiful, after playing the character of Ridge for 25 years.

“His education lay like a film of white oil on the black lake of his barbarian consciousness. For this reason, the things he said were hardly interesting at all. Only what he was.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Lost is our freedom
When we submit to women so:
Why do we need ‘em
When, in their best, they work our woe?”
