An on-camera and stage actor with a diverse background. After four years in the Marine Corps, Ryan studied acting and microelectronics at Portland Community College, becoming president of the resident improv group P.A.N.T.S. (People Acting Not Too Seriously). He got his start playing police officers and other law enforcement/military types in such Portland staples as Leverage, Grimm, and The Librarians. Moving on to speaking roles in Combat Report and The Wonderland Murders, interspersed between stage performances of Costa Rehab, Reservoir Dolls, and The End of Summer, Ryan also appears in industrials, feature films, and commercials. He studied at the BGB Studio in Hollywood under Sydney Walsh, and locally under Karen Maseng, bringing a Guskin approach to his style.

When not acting, you’ll find him wrangling his cats or behind a table slinging dice and slaying dungeons whilst raiding dragons.
