Ryan Keith Dorsey, born on July 19, 1983, in Chesapeake, West Virginia, embarked on a journey that would forever alter the trajectory of his life. During his senior year of high school, he was persuaded to audition for Ayn Rand's Night of January 16th, a decision that would ultimately ignite his passion for acting. Landing a lead role as a middle-aged attorney, Ryan's fascination with the performing arts was cemented. He enrolled at Western Carolina University as a freshman, with plans to walk-on to the football team and major in Theatre. However, his stint on campus lasted only a semester, and he returned home, where he began collaborating with his hometown friends on filmmaking projects. This marked the beginning of his path to New York City. After spending one year at West Virginia University, Ryan auditioned for and was accepted into The New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts, paving the way for his future in the entertainment industry.
