A Look Back: Ryan Murray

Above: Ryan & Ty

When most people think of an 'up and comer' they thinking about someone in their teens breaking into show business. For those who know the business at all know that you can be an up and comer for years until you get your big break. I would guess even Kathryn Joosten was an up and comer (despite decades of credits) until she was in her 70's and landed the role on 'Desperate Housewives'.

Actor, singer and model Ryan Murray is an up and comer. He defines exactly what an up and coming actor needs to be. Talented and hard working. Ryan has been working for years, mostly on the stage, plugging away and building his resume waiting for that big break. Some might have seen Ryan on television when he had a recurring role on 'Guiding Light' as well as bit parts on other tv shows and movies. Ryan's most well known stage role might have been in 'Lone Star Love'. Although critically well received, 'Lone Star Love' got as much attention due to Randy Quaid's battle with Equity.

Through all the roles, in all the different theatres. Through all the auditions, the success and the rejection what I most love and respect about Ryan Murray is his enthusiasm for the business and for his determination to stick with his passion until that perfect role comes along. Forever hopeful Ryan has many things he juggles. Not only acting, but Ryan also balances modeling, fitness instruction and recording. I am positive with his talent, not to mention great looks that role is like Ryan, up and coming.

In between acting roles, Ryan also models. His stage experience provides Ryan the ability to be at ease in front of the camera. Ryan displays a wide range of emotion through his modeling and his strong facial features and piercing blue eyes have combined for some great images. Ryan has been in front of the lens of some of the business's top photographers and has an impressive portfolio.
