Nathaniel J. Ryan is a man with many options. Ryan's story began in Brooklyn, New York where he excelled in high school track and field.  When his dream of going to the Olympics was crushed due to arthritic knee issues, he submerged himself into his academic studies and earned his BA from Morgan State University, and later his MBA from Clark Atlanta University.  He entered the world of finance.  However, after a few years Ryan grew restless!

Ryan decided to enroll in an acting class, and he hasn't looked back since.   The Company Acting  Studio in Atlanta Georgia was where it began before he continued his studies with Stella Adler Studio of Acting, and then Anthony Abeson in New York City.

Now an accomplished actor, Ryan has starred in the Independent Feature Films as 'Luv Don't Live Here', and 'And There Were 4'.  Both available on Amazon Prime.

No stranger to the stage Ryan  has tackled roles in August Wilson's 'Fences'  'Othello: The Panther', 'The Crucible', 'No Sex Please, We're British', and much more.

In addition to his body of work on stage, Ryan won the Ocktober Film Festival Best Actor award in 2017 for his performance in the short film 'Blind Faith'.  Some of his film and television credits include 'Blue Bloods', 'The Blacklist', and 'Random Acts of Flyness'.

Ryan, a natural athlete, enjoys track and field, swimming and Wing Chun Kung Fu.
