 Christopher Ryan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christopher Ryan is an English actor who trained at East 15 Acting School in London.
He played a member of The Young Ones gang in the British television series of the same name -- the only member of the cast who was not already well-known in comedy circles, he was a last-minute replacement for Peter Richardson, for whom the role of "straight man" Mike was originally intended.
Ryan later played Dave Hedgehog in Bottom and one of Edina's unloved ex-husbands on Absolutely Fabulous, and cameos in two major sitcoms: he played one of the Driscoll brothers in an episode of Only Fools And Horses, and a pair of identical twin plumbers in an episode of One Foot In The Grave.

While other Ryan novels (for all their virtues) have occasionally utilised well-worn plots, this one is absolutely fresh as paint.
The narrative (spanning many years) packs all the requisite pace and action, but Ryan never forgets how crucial characterisation is. Black's relationship with the girl who was once his enemy is brilliantly and economically realised.
Ryan knows how to interest people, and even though this is not one of his best, i think it's worth a read.

But with Blackout, Ryan's key subject -- the threat of terrorism to all our lives -- could not be more à propos, and that old journalistic cliché, 'ripped from today's headlines', actually gets it just right with this one.
For 10 years, Chris Ryan put his life on the line in real-life SAS operations, and his subsequent literary career has drawn heavily on his knowledge of the tradecraft and danger of those days.
Ryan will never be a literary stylist, but one doesn't turn to his books for elegant prose -- it's the steadily accelerating tension and frighteningly plausible plots that have made him quite as successful author as he ever was an SAS commander.

Ryan Larkin was born in Montreal in 1943.
Ryan’s was not an easy life and despite (or perhaps because of) widespread recognition including an Academy Award nomination, Ryan Larkin turned his back on animation and has spent the last 20+ years living as a homeless person panhandling for change on the streets of Montreal.
When he was commissioned to take a new software system named Maya and use it to make a film and at the same time develop its capabilities, he gave the world an early CG masterpiece named “Bingo” – a fascinating and bizarre film based on a Dadaist piece of theatre.

 An Interview With An Interview With Chris Ryan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
At one point, our correspondence was interrupted because Chris' computer packed up and he had to borrow a friend's.
He laughed at this, because although Chris has quite an imposing appearance, he truly is a "gentle giant" and just a ripping good chap in general.
His surname is Ryan (as is my middle name, coincidentally) and we discussed at one point whether he may actually be a relation to Lucy Lawless, but that has only been speculation, nothing conclusive.

 BookkooB : The Increment - Chris Ryan : Compare Book Prices
That's not to say that Ryan doesn't provide exactly as much characterisation as is required; notably in his tough and resourceful protagonist Matt Browning, who is an action hero for the 21st century.
Chris Ryan's early books are good, but almost all of his later efforts suggest that he's either employing a ghost writer who has no clue about military matters, or his editors simply can't be bothered to check anything and get the details right.
I've read most of the books by 'Chris Ryan', but this one really didn't cut it to me. Plot was predictable and there were many reality checks, ie things which he describes but which are so totally impossible that they're laughable.

 "Ryan" - Salon
In 1969, Larkin was himself an Oscar nominee (for the animated short "Walking") but now he's a Montreal panhandler struggling with substance abuse.
The film's dark tale is haunted by strange partial X-rays of Landreth's hand-painted, 3-D animations, which he calls "psychological realism." So exact are Landreth's images that, when paired with Landreth's and Larkin's voices, it's difficult to believe that "Ryan" is not actually a live-action film.
And so exact is his troubled portrayal of Larkin that Landreth admits to having been nervous before he gave his subject a private screening of the film.

Ryan, directed by Chris Landreth, is an animated tribute to Canadian animator Ryan Larkin.
In Ryan we hear the voice of Ryan Larkin and people who have known him, but these voices speak through strange, twisted, broken and disembodied 3D generated characters...
Although incredibly realistic and detailed, Ryan was created and animated without the use of live action footage, rotoscoping or motion capture...but instead from an original, personal, hand animated three-dimensional world which Chris calls 'psychological realism'.
