... Considering this gorgeous 32 year-old actor is currently starring in the hottest summer television show currently on air, I'd imagine the buzz has been building up for quite some time now.
... He can act... And anybody who's been watching True Blood these past two seasons can testify to that... But I'm wondering, what exactly was Ryan up to in his previous life prior to fending off vampires, and demi-gods, and random religious sects comprised of nutcases...
Summerlannd aired on the WB circa 2004-2006... And although the series ultimately was short-lived and ended prematurely, without it odds are more likely than not, Ryan may have never been cast in the subsequent roles that ultimately lead to True Blood...The Summerland series in DVD format is unfortunately unavailable on Amazon. Thankfully the show's been posted in its entirety on youtube, so you can check it out there if you're interested in more classic Ryan.
