Ryan Leigh Jones, known by some as Ryan Leigh Firebrace, is an Australian actor, model, comedian, musician, artist, entrepreneur, political commentator and current political candidate. Leigh has stared and worked on a vast amount of Australian movies and TV productions, as well as having well known ties to Australian a-list actors - most notably Chris Hemsworth and Simon Baker. Leigh has been extensively involved in the political scene as a commentator while simultaneously founding and running small startup tech companies located in Sydney and Brisbane. Leigh has been involved in the music scene for a number of years associating with artists like Isaiah Firebrace, Jessica Mauboy, and most recently working with Keith Urban producing and contributing vocals to his brand new album; Graffiti U.

Leigh has contributed a vast amount to the Australian movie industry. He worked as a production assistant on the film ‘Red Dog’ (2008) which won an AACTA Award For Best Picture and also as a Screenwriter and associate producer on ‘The Babadook’ (2014), a renounced horror film which by many in the horror movie industry regard as “one of the scariest and most symbolic horror movies on the year." The film won the Empire Award for Best Horror in 2015.

Leigh has also worked as an intern for the Australian Film Commission in 2016 before moving on to work as a Junior quality control officer with the Australian Broadcasting Company (ABC) in 2017. His time at the ABC was unfortunately cut short as he was allegedly let go as rumours of sexual harassment in the workplace spread. Ryan denies any allegations put towards him and says that the comments made against him are “untrue and biased”. He also states that there was only one allegation made towards him and is threatening legal action if nothing is done to compensate for his position at the ABC.

Leigh has become well known in the political arena as a well spoken and educated conservative political commentator contributing to many Australian news channels such as; Seven News, ABC News, and commonly appearing on SBS World News as a political contributor. Ryan Leigh has been infamously outspoken about supporting an Australian Republic Government with an Australian as head of state as opposed to the current system of Government in Australia being a Constitutional Monarchy with the current British monarch serving as head of state. He also mentions often he would be more than inclined to run for such a position in the future if that were an open opportunity.
