Napoleon Ryan

Upbeat and industrious, Napoleon is a skilled comedy screen actor from England. He tends to play naive opportunists and the hapless, quirky everyman who gets sucked into situations beyond his control. In 'The Black Hole', a short film that has won multiple awards internationally, his character managed to create a breach in the space-time continuum while doing some late night photocopying. During 2008, in conjunction with Channel 4, he was nominated for 4 Talent's Best Comedy Performance Award. He was experimented on during the BBC's Bafta-nominated spoof school science show, 'Look Around You' and starred in a comedy chat show series called 'The Napoleon Complex'. In 2009, 'Adventures on the Environmental Journey', a series of educational films he hosted, won their category at the global Green Awards. Amongst others he has worked on industrial and advertising campaigns for major brands and companies such as Volkswagen, Sony, IKEA, Twix, Ladbrokes and Nescafe. As well as stints in London and the West End in family favorite 'The Gruffalo', his theatre work has included national tours of Britain, Spain, Ireland and Italy plus collaboration with Academy Award Winner Sir Tim Rice on the London revival of his medieval musical 'Blondel'. He writes and produces his own short films and sketches for the Internet and composes classical music on his trombone.
