Riley Ekman

Riley James Ekman was born on October 16th, 1995 in Collingwood, Ontario, Canada. He is one of 8 siblings and grew up entertaining his large family. Always having had a passion for acting and having won a drama award at a young age, Riley was inspired to take drama in high school, and join his school's drama club to start working on improving his craft. Riley performed in a couple of theatrical shows for the Sears Drama Festival, as well as a comedy show for his high school which is where he truly fell in love with the art form. After graduating from high school, Riley continued to follow his passion by auditioning and being accepted into the Acting for Film and Television Program at Humber College (Toronto, ON, Canada). Following those 2 years of Acting School, Riley continued to develop his skills by taking various acting and improvisation classes at several studios across Toronto (LB studios, Armstrong, Second City, etc), before seeking representation and beginning to pursue his acting career in a professional manner. Since joining Premier Artists' Management Riley has booked commercial and film work, and is a full member of ACTRA. Riley Ekman continues to better himself in his craft as an actor in Toronto, but also enjoys learning new skills when he is not on set or at an audition!
