Ryan O'Donnell

Ryan Arron Luke O'Donnell was an inspiring actor, so he began to attend The Sharon Harris Agency Wembley, Middlesex, at age 14. He gained the speaking character part of Gregory in Grange Hill where he acted in 1998 Episode 21 and was further written in again as Gregory in a further story line. He also was one of the evacuee children in Goodnight Mr Tom with John Thaw. He was also in the film Plain Jane an historical drama (extra) and played extra parts in Randal and Hopkirk Deceased. Sadly Ryan was diagnosed with Bone Cancer at the age of 16 and, as much as he fought his trauma for 5 years, the nasty disease took his life 5 days before his 22nd birthday. He left behind a younger brother Jed Joseph O'Donnell, younger sister Carly Lisa-Marie O'Donnell and three half sisters Chloe Becky and Neave, all younger siblings.
