He has filmed in different formats from 35mm, and 16mm to the latest digital emulsions. From commercials to engaging narratives and documentaries, the story and characters always come first and are always the primary motivation to his approach to lighting and camera movements.

Born and raised in Vancouver, Ryan trained as a chef for 20 plus years before deciding to become an actor.

Ryan believes the same principles in cooking apply to acting which has made him a quick study, " building a character is a lot like building a dish, you need to add layers and depth into the flavours, most importantly the dish has to be balanced and make sense”.

Since working on Golden delicious Ryan has gone on to play several recurring roles in the television shows Fakes, Tradewinds, Snowpiercer and The Good Doctor.

Ryan continues to work occasionally as a chef and still enjoys to create new menus and work with his hands, "I hope that being good at one helps me become better at the other, and keeps me grounded"
