On January 26, 1955 a legend was born…

His name was Eddie Van Halen.  He went on to become one of the most prolific and influential musicians in the history of rock & roll.

Exactly 41 years later, Ryan Sheehan was born. He’s doing his best.

I’m an NYC-based actor, writer, director and musician originally from Cape Cod, MA. I graduated from Quinnipiac University with two Bachelor’s degrees (for the price of one!) in Theater and Film.

I spent two years post-grad working and building relationships within Cape Cod’s thriving professional theatre community. I received critical acclaim for my performances and was named one of Cape Cod Times’ favorite actors of 2019.

 
 

I moved to NYC at the end of 2019 (in hindsight, my timing was truly impeccable) where I’m continuing to find opportunities to collaborate creatively. I’m excited to look for opportunities to use storytelling as a unique means of escapism and activism; to start conversations about why we’re here and how we treat each other; a reminder that it’s okay to laugh at yourself every now and then.

If you’d like to learn more about me, follow my career and life updates, look at pictures of my face, or hire me to be in your blockbuster movie, you’re in the right place!
