Kevin John Ryan (born June 20, 1984) is an Irish actor, known for his television roles in the TV series Copper and Crossbones.

Early life

Kevin Ryan was born in Dublin, Ireland and comes from a family of stonecutters. As a young man, Kevin completed a stonecutting apprenticeship, but his own interests were in the dramatic arts (acting, including Shakespeare, as well as dancing) and sports.

Career

During the early years of his career, Kevin worked as a dancer, which led him to appear on one of Ireland's top television shows.[which?][when?][citation needed] But Kevin's true passion was for acting, so he moved to Hollywood, where he trained in the Stanislavski system of method acting, and later played roles in several independent films and television.
