Ryan Bates

Ryan Arevalo-Bates is that guy who somehow manages to juggle acting, writing, and producing, all while rocking British and Spanish roots—first gen Bates family, straight outta SoCal. He literally grew up on stage, jumping into theater at eight, and he hasn’t slowed down since. We’re talking big-name roles, too: Stanley Kowalski, Henry V—yeah, he’s got range, and he’s taken his talents global. He’s not just winging it either. Ryan’s trained with some serious heavyweights—Pat Skipper in LA (you’ve seen him in Oppenheimer and Yellowstone), plus the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London with none other than Kenneth Branagh running the show. The dude’s got pedigree. On top of all that, he’s been teaching acting and film for the last five years, teaming up with myT Studios in Westlake, CA. Doesn’t matter how old or young you are, he’s probably coached someone you know. Lately, he’s been busy both in front of and behind the camera. Check him out in ‘Condition of Return’ alongside Annalynne McCord, and he went triple threat as actor, writer, and producer in ‘Yellow Ribbon.’ Oh, and he’s in Kevin Costner’s ‘Horizon: An American Saga Chapter 2’—not exactly small potatoes. And just in case you thought he was slowing down, nope—production for ‘Horizon: An American Saga Chapter 3’ fires up spring 2025. The guy’s got momentum, and he’s not about to hit the brakes.
