- Brother is actor Rick Rossovich
- Was a pro football player with the Philadelphia Eagles.
- When Rossovich played for the Philadelphia Eagles, he shared a house with Steve Sabol of NFL Films fame. A couple years ago NFL Films did a segment with Steve Sabol reuniting with Rossovich and Gary Pettigrew, who was another Eagles player from the late 1960s who roomed there.
- Rossovich was an All-American DE at the University of Southern California (USC). While in the NFL, he made his reputation as a guy who definitely marched to the beat of a drummer no one else knew of or heard! Was famous for pranks that gained him money on bets such as chewing glass and setting himself on fire. Never lived up to his potential as a player in the NFL and, every once in a while, you can see him on vintage NFL Films about the Eagles of the 1960s and 1970s.
- Father is of Croatian heritage. From moscenicka draga region in Croatia.
- Attended St. Francis High School in Mountain View, California.
