Ryan Galea born at St Luke’s Hotspital in Tal-Pietà on 8 July 1991. He is an Actor.

Acting is my passion and more. Once I have been told that it is ‘the arts way of lying’ and I keep that in my mind as my motto. I shared a number of different experiences from which I continued to learn and develop my skill. Amongst the first were animations. I used to animate children and adults in number of different venues and occasions such as the Carnival Grand ball, parties, trade fairs, events such as book launches and more. Also, played the parts of Mattia Preti during Notte Bianca and also another role in an event at the President’s garden.

I have developed my theatre abilities by learning at Free Spirit Acting, directed by Carlos Farrugia, Clive Piscopo and Duncan Azzopardi, were I’ve been lectured by some of the most talented people in Malta such as Manoel Cauchi, Albert Marshall, Mario Phillip Azzopardi, Mario Micallefand much more.

Throughout this training I was involved in a number of ‘End of terms’ and other productions such as: Passion play named Tamara, had a tertiary role in ‘L-Għanja taċ- Ċinju at the Manoel Theatre. Later on I played another role which had aspects of Physical theatre where I played the role of a Zombie. Also, took part in the popular theatre play Satira were I contributed to building the set and also designing it. Other opportunities were I took part in street theatre, had a tertiary role in a Freespirit production which was named Turbamaxka, which apart from being an actor I was also part of building the set and shared ideas of the making of the design.

I continued to develop my skills even further by attending a number of workshops with Maltese leading production houses such as [[Take 2] where I was introduced to television by playing a big role of Sean is-Simba.

Despite the fact that officially my training is theatre based, for some reason I have been casted in more T.V productions and Cinema rather than Theatre itself.

My breakthrough was L-Evanġelisti for which I won the best upcoming talent in the Malta TV Awards. In this series I played the role of a young boy who lost his father in a car accident which turned out to be a planned murder by a gang. This event has changed the entire life of this boy who later on, in the story became part of the same gang who initially threatened his family to death for money. Immediately after I was casted in a series which unfortunately was never aired locally.

This was one of the downfalls in my life as it was one of the best screenplays which one could ever see on local television. It was a fantastic experience to work with a professional team and a professional cast. After a year of filming this project I was casted on Anġli Kapitlu Ġdid . Throughout these years I was also part of a small production such as a docudrama Leli ta’ Ħa-zgħir and Kelli ngħix which focused on this guy being a drug addict. This drug image became a trade mark as I was later one casted in 2 other productions with a very similar character.

Fortunately enough throughout my career I was offered various opportunities in which one which I really treasure was working for iz-Zona for PBS. Initially I thought this would be a light job, but as the production team discussed the story and the characters I got very hooked to the story that it turned out to be the most challenging roles I have ever played. Moreover, it was the biggest learning experience excluding my breakthrough with L-Evanġelisti which obviously gave me the essential tools to act on T.V.

During my Studies I was always told to learn from every single experience and that whatever you do in life is always an audition because the biggest producer might be in the back seat and may see your potential. Luckily, the experience that I had in the age of 16 led me to be part all these different characters and experiences. In fact I was also casted in the 2014, music video for Firelight’s Video which will be shown during the process of the Eurovision Song Contest 2014. In this video I was a Soldier who is coming home from War World I.

Related to the theme of war, I have worked in a short film entitled The Medic. It sought to be a success from day 1. It contained of very long hours of filming which resulted in an 11minuter short film which won a number of awards both locally and internationally.

To sum up, I feel very lucky that I have been casted in such a long list of productions. I feel honored to have worked with some of the best actors in Malta and with the most technical people on the island. All in all, I can admit that this ART has been providing me with great personal satisfaction that makes me feel very special to be an Artist.
