He is a fluent welsh speaker and capable of tweaking his Welsh accent to cover certain other Welsh areas.

On the acting front he has appeared in the S4C series ‘Cowbois ac Injans’ and played the leading role of Tim in the short film ‘Idiosyncrasy’. His Theatre credits at LIPA include Valentine in ‘Two Gentlemen of Verona’, Darren in ‘Redundant’, Mark in ‘Shopping and Fucking’, Alan Conway in ‘Time and the Conways’ and Mr Cricket in ‘The Insect Play’ directed by Jamie Lloyd.

Ryan is keen to branch out and explore new roles in both Welsh and English in all other media.
