        Ryan O'Quinn

        Picture
        Ryan O'Quinn is a professional actor who has appeared in films, television shows and on stages around the country. His burden to use his God-given talents led him to start this ministry team composed of other professional Christian actors to entertain and teach youth groups and churches about the love of Christ by employing humor, Bible study, comedy and drama.

        Ryan has appeared in numerous TV shows and films and is recognizable from roles in Beverly Hills 90210, Third Rock from the Sun, Port Charles, 18 Wheels of Justice, Eve and Alias to name a few. He has also worked extensively as a voice actor lending his voice to movies, TV shows and cartoons. Some favorites include Shallow Hal, Levity (the voice of young Billy Bob Thornton), Vacuums (with Chevy Chase) and the voice of the dog in National Lampoon's Holiday Reunion.

        He currently performs regularly at the world-famous Improv Olympic in Hollywood that boasts alumni such as Tina Fey, Mike Meyers, Ratchel Dratch, Jason Sudeikis, Neil Flynn and more.

        Ryan has also written short films for various Christian production companies and writes for and stars in “FUEL”, a Bible study curriculum for teens from LifeWay Christian Resources.
        He was a contributing writer for Nelson's Annual Youth Ministry Sourcebook from Thomas Nelson Publishing and will soon release a book based on his stand-up comedy titled "Parenting Rules: Navigating This Time in Life that Defies Logic, Science and Sanity".

        Ryan recently completed work on the television series "Ringer" on CW Network and "The River" for ABC. He also worked on the feature film “Love Lies Bleeding” with Christian Slater and is currently filming an original series for the Independent Comedy Network. Ryan can be seen and heard in various voice over projects, films and video games. He has a broad filmography that spans more than 15 years in Hollywood.

        Ryan also writes and stars in the original Christian sit-com Zach and Pete, which was developed with Chris Woolsey.

        He grew up in Virginia and worked with youth in churches throughout his college years at William and Mary and afterwards on staff at the Centrifuge youth camps. After moving to L.A. to pursue his career, he continued to seek ways to use his gifts to serve the Lord.
        Ryan still says acting is his occupation, but ministering is his vocation. Ryan owns Damascus Road Productions, the parent company of Team WordPlay.
