Ryan is an American actor, filmmaker, and martial artist from Memphis, Tennessee. Like most actors, Ryan's first exposure to acting was in his high school theatre program and afterwards he continued on to get a Bachelor's Degree in Theatre from Bethel University. After graduation, Ryan moved over to film/television and began acting in commercials and independent films from Los Angeles to Atlanta. These experiences developed a love for story telling in Ryan that motivated him to take his career into his own hands and founded Blue Lion Pictures in 2020. His inspirations come from his love for action movies, video games, anime, and martial arts. Outside of film, Ryan trains in Shaolin Kung Fu and has had the privilege to learn from established masters in different styles across the country. Forever a student of life, Ryan strives to grow and learn every day.
