Jay Ryan: Kiwi actor on his latest project The Ridge

from The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin · host Newstalk ZB

Jay Ryan made a name for himself by appearing in New Zealand TV classics like Go Girls and Creamerie, but he's been able to take his skills overseas.  He's making an impact overseas, picking up international recognition for roles in Beauty and the Beast and It Chapter Two.  His latest acting project sees him returning to New Zealand shores - to star in the new psychological thriller TV show The Ridge. "I've been very fortunate to go to different parts of the world and film - and now the world's much smaller...you can be anywhere, you can live in a small part of New Zealand and still have your foot in the door for Hollywood. I've been very lucky." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
