Ryan Manuel is an American actor born in Rhode Island.  He was a storyteller at an early age and began borrowing his grandfather's VHS home movie camera to make small films with his friends - long before the Youtube generation and phones with cameras become common place.  His friends would also come over and play Dungeons and Dragons, where he would play the Dungeon Master - creating the story and playing out the characters that his friends would interact with.

In High School, Ryan was involved in the musical theater, using his dynamic voice to play "Audrey II"  in The Little Shop of Horrors and his ethnically ambiguous look to play "Manolo Costazuela" in Niel Simon's The Odd Couple.  He went on to perform at the local Firehouse Theater in Newport before studying drama at Bristol Community College.

Also a writer, Ryan graduated from the University of Rhode Island with a major in

English and a minor in film.  He moved out to Los Angeles and began studying with Anthony Meindl  while cutting his teeth on short films and student projects. Ryan has since worked on many projects and has experience with most of the facets of show business from National Commercials to kids shows to voice overs to reality TV, Ryan has shown himself to be a versatile actor with an infectious sense of playful energy and bottomless well of creativity.
