Backround

As far back as he can remember, Ryan has always enjoyed entertaining people. "I've just always liked to perfom from day one," he says.
Ryan began his career in show business by enrolling in dance classes while he was still in grade school. With his enthusiasm and talent, Ryan easily won lots of first-place trophies at dance competitions.
When he wasn't busy rehearsing for dance competitions, Ryan was performing with his sister, a gifted vocalist and guitarist. The two sang together at local fashion shows, charity benefits, weddings and other special occassions. Ryan regularly stole the spotlight from his sister with special solo performances that included serenading brides with romantic tunes such as "Puppy Love" and "When a Man Loves a Woman."

By the time he was 12, Ryan decided to take his career as an entertainer to the next level. He wanted to get involved in professional show business, but his mom was nervous about letting him do so at such a tender age. "She didn't want it to have any bad effects on me-she didn't want me to change," Ryan explains to BOP and BB. However, knowing how much entertaining meant to Ryan, his mom eventually agreed to let him give it a shot.

Soon after Ryan got the green light to pursue a show-biz career, Ryan signed with an agent, who sent him on an audition for the Disney Channel TV series The Mickey Mouse Club. The multi-talented cutie beat out 17,000 other kids trying for the role of a singing, dancing Mouseketeer-a pretty impressive feat when you consider that it was Ryan's very first audition! Before he could say "Mickey Mouse," Ryan and his mom were flying to Orlando, Florida, where MMC was taped.
