CHANEL RYAN
A familiar face in the modeling world, CHANEL RYAN has taken her career to the next level and made the transition to acting full time. She has co-starring roles in no less than six indie films in the next twelve months and film-goers will find it next to impossible not to notice her breathtaking smile.
The stunning, blonde Pennsylvania-born beauty believes in serendipity and was at the right place at the right time when she landed her first job. Now her career seems to be moving at fast forward with no sign of stopping. Chanel’s upcoming roles include Jonas Akerlund’s “Small Apartments” with James Caan and Billy Crystal, “Dorothy & The Witches of Oz,” starring Sean Astin, Christopher Lloyd and Lance Henrickson, “Skum Rocks” with Alice Cooper, and “Bad Kids Go to Hell” with Judd Nelson and Ben Browder based on the best selling comic book of the same name. Discovered while sunbathing in Laguna Beach, CA, Chanel was only too happy to be paid for hanging out at her favorite place not to mention the free bikinis!
Modeling came easy to Chanel and soon she was working in exotic locations all over the world. You have seen the golden haired beauty in campaigns for Anheuser Busch, Burke Williams Spas, Harley Davidson swimwear, Harrah’s Casinos, Miller Beer and fashion shows for Fredericks of Hollywood. Named one of the sexiest women on the planet by magazines from four continents, her face and body have graced magazines across the globe including Maxim, FHM and Playboy . Wanting to bring something more to the pretty girl roles being offered her, Chanel has studied with some of LA’s most respected and renowned acting coaches including Margie Haber (Master Class), Aaron Speiser, Lesly Kahn and Katt Shea. She has also had intensive dialect coaching with the master of voices, Bob Corff, which has helped her perfect numerous accents.
Her improv training at Groundlings and ACME landed her a role opposite Bill Murray in the pilot, “The Sweet Spot.” Chanel has appeared in over 30 national commercials including Pepsi, Saturn, Volkswagen, Del Taco, Wet & Wild Cosmetics, Audi, Coca-Cola and Visa. Acting jobs naturally followed. Some of her earlier roles were in the zany Universal film, “BASEketball,” and in the TV movie, “Wallace,” starring Gary Sinese and Mare Winningham, directed by the great John Frankenheimer.
An avid animal lover, Chanel shares her home with two rescues, a cat named Ruby Tuesday and a border collie named Lucky. In her spare time she devotes herself to animal charities including Best Friends and the Stray Cat Alliance. Chanel realizes she is very fortunate to be a working actress and she believes in giving back. Every year she produces a swimsuit calendar that is available in stores, as well as the numerous autograph events across the country at which she appears, with a portion of the proceeds going to support animal charities.
Call it fate, serendipity or just plain luck, but Chanel Ryan is going places and no one is going to stop her now.
"Please spay and neuter your animals and if you are looking to get a pet check out your local shelter first. There are so many wonderful, unwanted animals that need you. Be part of the solution not the problem!"
