Ryan Barker is an actor/writer/host from Brooklyn, NY. His father is from Jamaica: Chinese, West African & Scottish, while his mother is from Wisconsin: German, Dutch & English.
In 2nd grade, his love for performance was ignited when he was chosen (with no audition!) as the star of his class play--the clinically insane, Roman emperor, Claudius.
Years after "retiring" from acting, at his annual karate summer retreat, Ryan was tasked with writing & performing sketch comedy for everyone.
After making his black belt friends laugh as a French rapper angry about his lack of street cred, he enrolled in the Atlantic Theater Company's Acting Conservatory.
In NYC, he has performed in many Off-Off-Broadway plays while working on several indie films.
In LA, Ryan has filmed co-stars for numerous TV shows. He has also filmed commercials for Amazon Prime, DIRECTV, Facebook, Visible Wireless, Apex Legends, EchoPark Automotive & AT&T.
Thank you for reading. He hopes you're fantastic.
