Ryan Pethrow is a Bulgarian artist, born on January 20, 1982, in Sofia, Bulgaria. Hailing from a family with a strong academic background, he is the grandson of the renowned Bulgarian hematologist, Professor Zdravko Georgiev. Growing up, Ryan's mother, Isabella Georgieva, worked as a translator, while his father left the family when he was a young child, resulting in minimal contact with him. Ryan has a younger brother and an older sister, although he hasn't had the opportunity to know his sister. Moreover, he is aware of having additional siblings on his father's side in France, although he hasn't established a connection with them either.
During the communist regime in 1986, Ryan's father emigrated to France, and when the regime fell, his mother was invited to Belgium to work as a translator. Thus, in 1990, Ryan's family relocated to Brussels, Belgium. It was during this period that Ryan developed a deep passion for video games, manga, and anime. He also cultivated his interest in sports, participating in a diverse range of activities such as basketball, baseball, football, badminton, table tennis, archery, crossbow shooting, indoor climbing, and more. Additionally, he discovered his talent for acting, taking part in school theater productions and portraying a wide array of characters, including serial killers, action heroes, princes, and eccentric individuals, among others.
Following his time in Belgium, Ryan returned to Bulgaria with his family. Although he had a strong affinity for acting, circumstances prevented him from pursuing it for an extended period upon his return. In the summer of 2003, an unfortunate bicycle accident resulted in a broken arm, forcing him to halt his sports activities, which he had been engaged in semi-professionally for several years.
In 2004, his life took a new turn with the birth of his son, who required significant care and became the center of Ryan's world. The responsibility of fatherhood became his primary focus. Tragedy struck again in 2015 when his grandmother, Lilya Georgieva, passed away suddenly. Sadly, only months later, in 2016, his mother also left this world unexpectedly, leaving a profound impact on Ryan's life.
Determined to reignite his passion for acting, Ryan enrolled in a stunt course taught by renowned instructor Adam Horton at the prestigious Nu Boyana Stunt Academy in 2019. The academy, located within Europe's largest film studio, Nu Boyana Film Studios, has served as the backdrop for numerous iconic action films like The Expendables, Olympus Has Fallen, and Hitman's Bodyguard.

He made appearances in various commercials, film productions, and short films, showcasing his versatility not only as an actor but also as a photo model. Unfortunately, the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic forced him to temporarily pause his stunt training and put a halt to many of his projects.
Nonetheless, he adapted to the changing circumstances and discovered a new platform for self-expression through social media. With his direct and unapologetic approach, Ryan quickly garnered popularity on various social networks, captivating audiences with his genuine and refreshing perspectives. He seamlessly incorporated his acting skills into sketches, further captivating his growing fan base.
