The feature film, which was released in 2012, is mainly based on improvisation and required Ryan to give his performance with a flawless American accent.
He also appeared in the edgy Irish romantic comedy Songs for Amy, playing one of the leads as an international pop star. The movie was filmed in New York and Ireland.
