CAREER PATH
first commercial:
Penshoppe. At 14, he was part of Club Pen '94, together with Paolo Bediones. Since then, he's been part of numerous (he has lost count) commercials. Asked how many VTR tests he had to go through before he became part of an ad, Ryan quips, "2 MILLION!" how he got into mornings@gma: Over dinner with the barkada, Paolo (Bediones) talked him into trying out for the show. Ryan auditioned (which he claims was a disaster), had several weeks of test-hosting, until finally he was called in as a regular. (He joined the show in April of '99).
dream career:
He plans to get into video production (mtvs and commercials), as creative director and cinematographer.
