Ryan Allan Young

Ryan Allan Young was born in Denver, CO. He was always the tallest in his family and class, and eventually grew to a towering 6'7". In 2009 he decided to dedicate his life to comedy, and moved to Los Angeles to study at Improv Olympic West (i.O. West). After completing the program, he moved on to perform stand-up at various venues in LA, including The Comedy Story. He is also a graduate of The Upright Citizen's Brigade (UCB). After a successful year of making people laugh with jokes about life "way up there", he realized his true calling was on TV. He has since been studying on-camera acting techniques for Sitcoms and half-hour comedies. Ryan has starred in multiple commercials, some of which have aired in Japan and Mexico. In early 2014 he launched a new actor-friendly service called Shoot Your Sketch, which helps actors produce professional video sketches and web series for websites like Funny or Die. Show less «
