“Ryan has been given the opportunity for a great adventure.  He has gone from being a shy little boy, to a confident, fun-loving teenager eager for the next opportunity to show his talents.  He continues his training with Lorena Mena, Olivia Allen and Constance Tillotson.  He recently went on an audition for a soap opera and the casting director stopped him half way through his audition to tell him he wasn't going to get the part.  Wow, what a blow; but the next few minutes changed everything.  She went on to say she couldn't hire him because he just looked too young.  They had already cast the girl and there was no way he could pull off being the boyfriend!  She then called me into her office (I had never done "that" before) and continued to tell him..."You are a brilliant actor and I can tell you have had some incredible training!"  Wow, Kudos to his coaches and teachers!  She loved him and told him she would keep him in mind for future projects.  To quote his managers..."It's not always about "wowing" the casting directors, but about building relationships".  Great job, Ryan.  We are so proud of you...”
