Biography for Ryan Newman (III) Date of Birth 24 April 1998, Manhattan Beach, California, USA Birth Name Ryan Whitney Newman Mini Biography A vivacious young actress with spirit, sparkle and an intellect far beyond her years, Ryan Newman is swiftly emerging as one of Hollywood's exceptional young talents. At an early age, Ryan was determined to pursue a career in entertainment. Her enthusiasm and natural talent caught the attention of casting directors. With a number of national print ads under her belt, Ryan booked the first commercial she ever auditioned for, an experience that proved Ryan's passion for acting was not without considerable talent and drive. At the shoot, the directors found themselves without the Spanish-language counterpart to Ryan's English-language role. Urgently needing to film the commercial in both languages, production asked young Ryan if she could speak Spanish, to which she replied, "If you teach me!" Ryan saved the day, beginning to show the world and the industry that she is a multi-talented and versatile young girl. Ryan made her feature film debut at the age of seven in the films "Zoom" and "Monster House". Co-starring opposite Tim Allen, Courtney Cox, and Chevy Chase in Sony's "Zoom", Ryan portrays a young super hero that seeks to save the world from destruction, a role that required her to train in martial arts. With a role in Robert Zemeckis and Steven Spielberg's blockbuster hit "Monster House", Ryan earned the distinction of being the youngest actor ever to be motioned captured! Ryan was part of an all-star cast that included Steve Buscemi, Nick Cannon, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Kevin James, Jason Lee, Mitchell Musso and Catherine O'Hara among others. On the small screen, Ryan appeared in multiple seasons of Disney's hit show "Hannah Montana" as a young Miley Cyrus as well as in the highest-rated episode of Disney's "Good Luck Charlie" opposite Bridget Mendler, Jason Dolley and Bradley Steven Perry. Ryan currently (2010) stars as the precocious antagonist, Ginger, in Disney XD's "Zeke and Luther". Her character constantly looks for ways to torment her brother Zeke and his best friend Luther, which always leads to a hilariously entertaining outcome. "Zeke and Luther" is the number one show on Disney XD and is presently in its third season. In 2010, Ryan won the Young Artist Award for Best Performance in a TV Series by a Leading Actress. Ryan was nominated among four other contenders that included Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana) and Miranda Cosgrove (iCarly). Ryan resides in Southern California with her mom, dad, and older sister.
