This episode of Second Act Actors features a truly Hollywood-style entry into acting: Ryan was working at the grocery store when he was scouted by a producer who gave him his email address and told him to get in touch. Next thing you know, he’s on set and working as an actor!  In the episode, Ryan and I dive into the details about what acting has been like for him as a deaf person.  Ryan gives me his opinions on diversity in casting and the opportunities available for deaf people in the industry. He reflects on his career so far, which includes stints as a professional athlete before he became an actor, and shares his ambitions for the future and his mission to raise the profile of the deaf and hard of hearing community. At the end of the episode, he gives advice to aspiring actors  who want to make it in the industry.  Jump over to the Second Act Actors YouTube channel to watch the video version of this episode and see Ryan communicating with me through his interpreter!
