Ryan made his professional stage debut in 2012 in 'Sex with Strangers' for the Sydney Theatre Company, under the direction of Jocelyn Moorhouse. In early 2013 he wrapped in the leading role of Paul in Greg McLean's Wolf Creek 2 (2013) which premiered at the Venice Film Festival to rave reviews. He will next be seen in the forthcoming drama Love Child (2014) for the Nine Network Australia in the main cast role of Johnny, and in a guest role in ABC's comedy series The Moodys (2014).
