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. Show less «
