“When I moved out here and people saw my name... I had a shaved head, dark skin, and a tattoo...You would be shocked at the stuff they offered me.

I decided I would not read for a role unless the character's name was Ryan or Bryan or Chad. And I think I got two Ryans in my career, which is pretty good.”
