I will tune in. I think he’s a talented actor, very versatile. I’ve seen a lot of his work and have thoroughly enjoyed most of it. Looking forward to it.
Th doc film he produced looked cool and he directed a film- maybe he’s making a big comeback
I love it! Sounds intelligent and with enough action possibilities to keep an audience peaked…Not to mention the talent involved. Congratulations, Ryan. I hope the show is a huge success!
What’s Season 2? He finds another body?
I’ve really liked him in stuff before but what’s this? The Stay-Puff Marshmallow Man Story?
