Ryan Potter Facts
- Born in Portland, Oregon, Ryan was raised in his father’s native Japan until the age of 7 after which he returned to the United States and was raised by his single mother. He later took his mother’s surname, Potter, as his last name.
- Although his first language was Japanese, he lost touch with it over time due to limited usage in the United States. When he was 8 years old, he had started getting trained in the Chinese martial art of White Tiger Kung Fu. A versatile talent, he could also play the drums and would dabble in sports such as baseball (catcher, second base, and center-field) and skateboarding during his school days.
- His acting career kicked off in 2010, when he noticed a leaflet during a kung fu class which mentioned that the children’s TV channel Nickelodeon was casting teenagers for its martial-arts based show titled Supah Ninjas. He decided to audition and was selected for the lead role of Mike Fukanaga.
- In 2011, he had founded a charitable organization called Toy Box of Hope through which he had launched a toy collection drive in Los Angeles to share them with children in homeless shelters and transitional living facilities.
