He did several major musicals in London's West End, spending 4 years in Andrew Lloyd Webber's smash hit “Evita” originating the role of Magaldi and then playing Che under the direction of Broadway legend Hal Prince. He left “Evita” to play Mac in the movie “The Final Option” for director Ian Sharp.
Ryan originated the role of Nasir for the cult British series “Robin of Sherwood” and has appeared in dozens of films and television series both in the U.S. and the U.K.
Throughout his career Ryan has managed to keep a good balance between theater, film and television engagements. In 1986, he won critical acclaim for his portrayal of the title role in the musical “Elmer Gantry” at London's Gate Theatre and followed that with a national tour of the hit show “Guys and Dolls,” playing Sky Masterson. He returned to the West End to play Neville Landless in the Tony Award-winning musical “The Mystery of Edwin Drood” and, the same year, recorded a duet with singing star Tom Jones on his album “Matador.”

Ryan also voices Ironhide® and Hoist® for the Activision video game based on the film.
Nominated for an Emmy Award and named by Variety as one of the top ten voice actors, JESS HARNELL (Ironhide® / Barricade®) is truly one of the best and the busiest in the business.
