Andy Ryan, an Australian actor based in Sydney originally from Queensland. He has been in the industry for a long time now and has quiet a CV. Andy was nominated as the Best Supporting Actor at the Australian Film Awards for his portrayal of Andrew Farris in INXS, Never Tear Us Apart (Channel 7). Andy also performs in live theatre. We where so privileged to have him on the podcast to speak to us about his journey. Starting as a Dancer to him graduting from QUT with a degree in Fine Arts (Acting). He spoke to us about his recent challenges with addiction and what helped him out to where now he is almost 4 years sober. Interesting to see how he has changed his perspective as a well-known actor in Australia. Andy Ryan has a community project that he works on called 'Theatre Sports', which he gets to create an opportunity for Kids and adults out there to improve their character in the real world through trial and error on a controlled environment. We ended this awesome interview with a little questionnaire that James Lipton did on his show "Actors Studio'. Thank you so much giving us some time in your busy schedule Andy and we look forward to woking with you again. Best wishes
