Career

Rick Rossovich’s first big movie break came when he was cast as Cadet First Lieutenant Dante Pignetti in the drama-thriller The Lords of Discipline, with Bill Paxton and Michael Biehn. The movie helped launch Paxton’s and Biehn’s careers, and Rossovich would go on to work again with both Biehn and Paxton in The Terminator and Navy SEALs. He and Paxton worked together also in Streets of Fire, an American neo-noir rock musical film directed and co-written by Walter Hill.

Rossovich’s next movie was Losin’ It, a “teenage romp down to Mexico… and Rossovich played a marine who the kids kept coming across, and which resulted in some high jinks.” Losin’ It was Tom Cruise’s first lead role. Rossovich and Cruise, who Rossovich considers “a great guy,” first met on the set of Losin’ It. The two would become friends, and go on to star together in Rossovich’s biggest hit and one of Tom Cruise’s most memorable works, Top Gun.
