Ruari Cannon was born in 1991 in Northampton and was raised in Edinburgh, Scotland. He has one sister named Kirsty, and his parents are Eleanor and Malcolm Cannon. At Stewarts Melville College in Edinburgh he was involved heavily with sport and drama, and cultivated a love for the stage in productions like "The Merchant of Venice" where he played Shylock, and "A Sreetcar Named Desire" where he played Stanley. At a young age he appeared on the Perth theatre stage in a professional production of "Oliver!" playing the Artful Dodger. After leaving school he decided to study in America at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York and upon graduating in 2011, won the Charles Jellingher award for best actor. When strapped for cash Ruari would busk in Central Park come rain or shine, and made Dempseys Pub on 33rd street his 2nd home. Ruari is also a massive United fan and his love for the Manchester reds equals that of his craft. Show less «
