8 Things You Didn’t Know About Ryan Hurst

1. Owns A Film Production Company

Fast Shoes is the name of the company, and he has been in charge of it since its inception and has done quite well with it. Many performers seem to branch out into directing, producing, or starting their own enterprises. ^[1]

2. Also Appeared In Remember The Titans

Gerry Bertier was one of those who were opposed to the shift that came with playing with coloured kids on the football team, but as he warmed up to the idea, he became one of the most ardent proponents of the change. He performed his part wonderfully, convincing you that he was conflicted at first and then completely on board. ^[2]

3. Played A Role Of Lump Hudson In Ladykillers

Playing a character named Lump Hudson doesn’t exactly instill confidence that the character will be of much assistance in the intellectual department. Lump was essentially the group’s muscle and little more in this dark comedy. ^[3]

4. He’s From A Hollywood Family

He is the son of an acting coach and an actress, thus it was almost inevitable that he would be involved in the arts from a young age. He could have chosen a different path, but he was drawn to life and went on to become an actress.

5. Also Appeared In We Were Soldiers

It bears reiterating that the Vietnam War was a horrible and grueling struggle that claimed the lives of countless men on both sides. So many warriors died during that period that the death toll is simply too painful for some to bear. ^[4]

6. Started His Career In the ’90s

Ryan’s career began in the early 1990s when he was still quite young, and he has consistently delivered outstanding performances since then. Given that he’s one of the better actors working today, it’s odd that he hasn’t appeared in more films.

7. He Was Never Starred In A Movie Before 2013

He does like to pick and select which projects he really wants to do, so it’s possible that he’s been waiting for the ideal part. It’s also possible that he’s been preoccupied with his production firm, which requires a lot of care to maintain running. Hopefully, he’ll return at some point.

8. His Character Opie Was Related To Piney In SOA

Originally, these two were not going to be related at all, but when Kurt Sutter noticed how tall each guy was and how much they looked alike, he rewrote the script and made Piney and Opie father and son, albeit their connection was strained at times.
