Ryan Andes, a professional actor - voice artist - designer - craftsman based in New York.
Ryan was born in the hills above Malibu, CA, and I come from a long line of performers and artists. Grandpa Keith Andes made a name for himself for his rich Baritone and performed on Broadway as Alfred Drake's replacement in the original Kiss Me, Kate (1949), before making his way to Hollywood to star in a whole slew of Movies, TV shows, Cartoons, and even more Broadway.
Thanks to Grandpa's encouragement and Mom's willingness to drive me to class & rehearsals, Ryan got into theater, acting, improv and singing early on. The family moved to Philly when he was in elementary school where he studied music, did theater, musicals, and got into lots of trouble for being a disruptive goofball. Even then he was known for his big, deep voice.
Somehow he made it into college (SFSU) and got degrees as a Basso in Opera and Theatre, and afterwards found his way to the Big Apple. Ryan was determined to follow in Grandpa's footsteps and make it to the Great White Way, which he did as Karl the Giant in Big Fish in 2013. Amazingly, his Broadway debut happened at the Neil Simon Theater, upon the same stage that Grandpa performed as Joe Dynamite in Wildcat with Lucille Ball in 1960.
Ryan got into VO in my early NYC days and I absolutely fell in love with it. Animation, dubbing, commercials, narration, video games, industrials, live event VOG announcing, such as transformers Cyberverse, Yu Gi Oh & Pokemon. Also found his way in front of the camera on some TV roles (YOU, The Path, Person of Interest).
The craftsman bug came from his Dad Matt Andes (who was himself an amazingly gifted painter, sculptor, woodworker, craftsman & guitar player) and he started his own business hand making high quality jewelry, custom metal hardware, and long-haul leather goods.
