4Kids Controversy
In 2003, 4Kids Entertainment acquired the US dubbing rights for the anime series Sonic X. In the Japanese version of Sonic X, all the video game voice actors reprised their roles. Instead if using the established US video game voice actors, 4Kids hired their own in-house actors to provide the voice over for Sonic X. After unprofessional and questionable lack of communication, Ryan was then contacted by 4Kids employee Micheal Haigney who was the producer of Sonic X. He claimed 4Kids could not use Ryan and the other video game voice actors, because they did not live in New York City where 4Kids is headquartered. Ryan replied that he would have gladly relocated to New York at his own expense. Instead, Ryan was replaced by Jason Griffith as the voice of Sonic.

Personal Life
Ryan is married to Lisa Drummond since 2002.
