- Kevin Ryan first garnered international recognition while starring on BBC America's Copper. Created by Oscar winning director Barry Levinson, Emmy winner Tom Fontana, and Academy Award nominee Will Rokos, the show became BBC America's highest rated series premiere of all time.
Kevin also appeared in the History Channel's hit mini-series Sons of Liberty and in the NBC series Crossbones starring John Malkovich, created by Neil Cross. Some of his other roles include the series regular role of "Patrick Ryan" on Freeform's Guilt; portraying the edgy, temperamental "Colin Kilgannon" on NBC's hit TV series The Blacklist; and ABC's Once Upon a Time.
In Ireland, Kevin recently starred in The Southwesterlies and can currently be seen opposite Jane Seymour in Harry Wild. Both series are for RTE and Acorn TV. Harry Wild premiered internationally on April 4th on Acorn TV and received outstanding reviews and a loyal following, leading to a season two pickup which is currently filming in Ireland.
