Ryan Pickens

Ryan Pickens is the proud father of Dennis the Menace for the 21st Century and the Bug Whisperer. He is a shy extrovert who loves to garner attention by slowly driving those around him insane (though this quality is often found endearing by those closest to him). In his spare time, he loves playing video and role playing games, working on various projects, and tormenting felines.

Ryan's acting experience is pretty standard... a semester of drama back in high school. Good times! However, he is generally of the opinion that "all the world's a stage," and he takes every opportunity to play his part. Ryan loves to dance, play the penny whistle (gave up clarinet a long time ago, since his brother broke the instrument), practice a comedy routine, or even warble off a few tunes. Practice makes perfect!

He was persuaded to audition for Pendant by Alicia Laine Matheson, not thinking that he'd actually get the role. It was with great surprise that he won the role of Calum in "Star Trek: Defiant". He has auditioned for a few other roles, and succeeded in gaining a couple of non-recurring parts in "Once Upon a Time in Vegas". He plans on auditioning for more in the future, because nothing pleases him more than making Alicia all frustrated when she's trying to help him record. ^_^
