Ryan was born in Ft. Devens, Massachusetts and moved around quite a bit after that due to being in a military family. His family finally settled in the Washington D.C. area (Woodbridge, VA) which is where he spent most of his time before moving to New York City in 1997.

Ryan has a degree in Foreign Language from George Mason University in Fairfax, VA, and got his start in D.C. area professional theaters and industrial films. He is fluent in Spanish, and has a love and knowledge of various other languages.

In New York, he was in the original cast of the Off-Broadway hit, Altar Boyz as 'Juan' and went on to perform in Shrek the Musical on Broadway as one of the three Pigs ('Bricks') and performed the role of Donkey many times. Ryan was also in the Broadway cast of Gettin' the Band Back Together, for which he wrote and created much of his material and was in the original Off-Broadway cast of Titanique as 'Ruth'. Ryan can be seen as 'Benny' in the popular series "He's With Me" as well as the award winning short, Obits, for which he won Best Actor of the 48 Hour Film Festival.

Ryan also volunteers and works with such organizations as TDF (Theater Development Fund), ASTEP (Artists Striving To End Poverty), and Only Make Believe which provides interactive theater for children in hospitals around the NYC area.
