Arye Gross (b. March 17,1960 in Los Angeles, California, U.S.) is an American character actor who has starred in many films and on television; he has played a lot of nerds in films. His best-known film role is in the 1985 comedy film Just One of the Guys as a nerd named Willie. He also starred in the 1987 movie House II: The Second Story, the 1993 comedy movie Hexed, the 2000 action film Gone in Sixty Seconds and the 2002 science fiction film Minority Report.

His best known TV role was on the ABC series Ellen as Adam Green from 1994-1995. Gross also starred in the short-lived series Citizen Baines with James Cromwell. Arye has made numerous guest appearances on a wide variety of TV shows, appearing on shows ranging from Diff'rent Strokes to Knight Rider, Six Feet Under, Law and Order: Special Victims Unit and Law & Order: Criminal Intent.

Arye Gross also played the adult voice of the character Kevin Arnold on the pilot episode of The Wonder Years when it first aired after Super Bowl XXII. However, the narration was re-recorded using Daniel Stern's voice for the pilot when it subsequently re-aired, and Stern remained the narrator through the entire run of the series.

Born on March 17 in Los Angeles, Arye Gross attended the University of California at Irvine and went on to study acting at the Conservatory at South Coast Repertory. He then became a member of the South Coast Repertory resident company for three years. This was followed by a year with El Teatro Campesino under the direction of Luis Valdez. Gross has appeared in a number of stage productions with a variety of companies in the Los Angeles area, including LATC, Pasedena Playhouse, Odyssey Theater Ensemble, MET Theater and Stages Theater Center. Gross' extensive stage credits include "La Bete" for the Stages Theatre Center, "Room Service" for the Pasadena Playhouse, "Three Sisters" for the Los Angeles Theatre Center, "Taming of the Shrew" and "Much Ado About Nothing" for the Grove Shakespeare Festival, "Troillus and Cressida" for the Globe Playhouse and "Screwball" and "Let's Play Two" for the South Coast Repertory Theatre.

Extremely gifted character actor whose face is readily familiar to the public but they can often not remember why. He tends to turn minor supporting roles into perfect studies in human frailty, strength, passsion, averice or anything else demanded by the role. His tour de force as the lackey sent to fetch famed Singer Dixie Leonard ( Bette Midler)for a TV show in For The Boys provided what would have been an otherwise mediocre film with all its pivotal moments upon which the story would turn. The most important growth of a character in that film turns out to be that of his who goes from a "go-fer" to his own man as a result of his tender encounter with Dixie as she tells him her life story. However, as usual, his performance appeared a seemless part of the whole. In another Era, a great character actor such as Gross would be more widely appreciated and celebrated. Many viewers will recall his appearance as the wronged husband in Minority Report which demanded a change from a loving family man to a betrayed husband falling victim to murderous rage all within a few minutes time. Simply superb.
