Ryan Cross grew up instinctively knowing that the world was a gift to
be enjoyed and worth exploring. After graduating from the University of
Washington (Seattle) with a Bachelor's degree, he immediately embarked
upon the education of life. Shorty after graduating, the modeling world
approached him. He quickly saw an opportunity to use modeling as his
vehicle to explore the world. With a backpack, some books and a curious
heart, he departed. Four years later, after an odyssey through
seventeen countries, Ryan returned state side to New York City. NYC was
love at first sight. Hungry to continue his cultivation for a deepened
existence, acting was a natural progression. Through this medium, he
felt a gratification that he had not yet known. Once introduced, Ryan
realized that he had always been "acting,"-the world his stage, his
fellow humans the cast. After five years, he moved to Los Angeles where
he opened himself to even more creative ways to communicate. He loves
to write, direct, make movies and collaboratively tell stories. He's
always had a passion for seeing life through as many perspectives as
possible, and is grateful for the opportunity to be on the precipice of
discovery everyday.
