Born and raised in Victoria, BC, Ryan Robbins knew he wanted to be an actor at a young age. He attended arts oriented schools where he wrote, produced, directed and starred in high-school productions; having his first taste of Shakespeare at the age of twelve.

After high-school, Ryan began his professional career as a circus performer; traveling to Australia to perform. After coming back to Canada, he went to Asia and in his early twenties, he was producing and directing productions for a production company in Malaysia. Longing for a new creative outlet, he helped form an experimental band, Hellenkeller.  During that time, he was struggling artist, believing in his art and homeless; living in a van during the winter months. But it all changed for Ryan one night while on stage performing in his band; he was discovered by a local filmmaker, thus launching his career into the world of film and television.

A character actor, Ryan is constantly reinventing himself; aspiring to keep each character fresh and unique. Ryan, an avid comic book fan, can be seen most recently guest starring in reoccurring roles on Blade, Battlestar Galactica, Stargate: Atlantis, Season 3 of The Collector andthe series lead in the CTV series Alice I Think. Robbins can also be seen in the independent films The Cabin Movie and When Jessie was Born (a multiple award winner) as the lead. His other credits include Supernatural, Smallville, Catwoman, Walking Tall, The Days, Kingdom Hospital and The Bug (winner of three Leo Awards). You can also see Robbins in Steven Spielberg’s Taken and the highly acclaimed Steven Spielberg mini-series Into the West.

During his spare time, Ryan likes to spend most of his day with his with two and a half year old daughter and looking for projects; in particular independent films, his passion. A passion that has paid off; recently he won best actor at the Sacramento International Film Festival against some incredibly well-known actors.

When not spending time with his daughter or researching new projects, Ryan also loves a “good fight.” A big fan of UFC, he enjoys watching boxing and occasionally is a recreational participant.
