Bio

Kevin Ryan is an Irish actor best known for his starring role as Detective Francis Maguire in the period drama television series Copper, from 2012-2013.

Ryan was born in Dublin, Ireland to a family of eighth-generation stonecutters. Although he completed his apprenticeship, his own interests leaned more towards the arts, where he harboured a love of Shakespeare, professional dancing and active sports.

Ryan moved to Los Angeles and after several lead roles in a variety of independent movies, he was cast in his first major American role, as the lead in the thriller Tripping Tommy directed by award-winning director Philippe Caland.

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.

Voted one of Ireland's sexiest men for two consecutive years, Ryan can also be seen starring in the top award-winning RTE One TV drama Raw, which began airing in 2012.
