Ryan philippe

Ryan Philippe was born in New Castle in the United States on September 10, 1974. He spent his childhood with his three sisters, something that he says has marked him a lot. That life surrounded by women has made him a defender of women’s rights. In addition, he boasts of having a special sensitivity that most men do not have, for which he feels very proud and grateful to his sisters. This happy life with his family changed when in 1992 he was cast as Billy Douglas in the television series One Life to Live , where he became the first gay teen character to appear on the small screen. This first and risky step led him to participate in other television projects, until in 1995 Tony Scottgave him his first break in film. It was in Crimson Tide , a film that Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington starred in, and in which he had a very small role. Interestingly, his next film opportunity came at the hands of Tony’s brother, Ridley Scott . The director of Alien, the Eighth Passenger  offered him to be one of Jeff Bridges ‘ crew members in White Storm (1996), a dramatic adventure story about the harshness of life on the high seas.

Until then, Ryan had not had any leading role, but the thing was solved with the drama Little Boy Blue (1997), where he played the son of a dysfunctional family marked by all kinds of abuse. This highly dramatic role gave way to a character more appropriate to his age in I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997). With this horror film he came into contact with the adolescent public, which he saw as one of those chosen by the hook murderer to pass away. With a familiar face for young audiences, Ryan decided to wink at those who weren’t so young anymore but who were in the seventies, by starring in 54. This drama about the popular New York nightclub turned him into an attractive and somewhat crazy bartender. It was a time when movies took advantage of the actor’s sexier side, as happened in the wonderful Playing with the Heart (1998), where he starred in one of the stories on the film, with the task of making Angelina Jolie fall in love . However, the film that just exploited the most sensual side of him was Cruel Intentions (1998). This new version of Choderlos de Laclos ‘s book Dangerous Liaisons , and by extension of the Stephen Frears film, put him back in contact with the adolescent public and especially with the feminine one. He gave his portrayal of a ruthless rich kid – a new version of Valmont – alongside Sarah Michelle Gellar , with whom he previously worked on I Know What You Did… , and Reese Witherspoon . According to the pinkest tongues, by then Ryan was already completely in love with Reese. Apparently, they had met the previous year at a party and had been captivated with each other ever since. The point is that one year after Cruel intentions, the couple went through the altar. Their love lasted until 2007, the year they broke up. This new situation tremendously affected the two spouses who had been very close and were the parents of two children, Ava Elizabeth and Son Deacon.

Before the separation, and during the years of happy marriage, Ryan specialized in thrillers such as Kidnapping from Hell (2000), Conspiracy on the Internet (2001), The Awakening (2003), Chaos (2005), Fingers: Terrorist Attack (2006 ) and The Spy (2007). His departures from the genre, however, are worth it, as they were to participate in Robert Altman ‘s ensemble comedy-drama Gosford Park (2001), where he was who he did not say he was, and in the Oscar-winning drama Crash (2004), where he was a police officer co-worker of Matt Dillon. It was then that her debut came in a genre that has led to two of the most interesting roles in his career, the war drama. Clint Eastwood turned him into Doc Bradley, one of the survivors of the mythical photo of Iwo Jima in Flags of Our Fathers (2006). Ryan was convincing as a young American hero who discovers that medals are not all he glitters with. He is now about to release Absent , where he returns to being a disenchanted war hero, although this time the scene of the conflict is Iraq. In its most immediate future, the war is present in Last Battle Dreamer , about the English of the Middle Ages and the Viking raiders.
