Ryan Guzman (GOOZE-MAHN) is a former MMA fighter who caught the notice of Hollywood. After starring as a series regular on the ABC hit series, "Notorious," Ryan now stars in the ABC drama "9-1-1" as 'Eddie Diaz.' Since switching from FOX to ABC, "9-1-1" has propelled to become the #1 drama in primetime for adults 18-49. Up next for Ryan is the film "The Present" (June 18, 2024) alongside Isla Fisher and Greg Kinnear.
Born in Texas and raised in his hometown of Sacramento, Ryan Guzman never thought of becoming an actor. At the age of seven, he developed an interest in martial arts and earned his first black belt in Tae Kwon Do by the age of ten. This led him into the octagon as an MMA fighter in Sacramento until his fighting license expired. A gifted athlete, he was also a sought-after left-handed pitcher with a fastball clocked between 87 and 90 miles per hour. A shoulder injury ended this career dream when Guzman was still a teenager, which transitioned later into a career in print modeling and soon after, acting.

Helmed by "Paranormal" producer, Jason Blum, and director Rob Cohen, the film centered on Ryan's character, a teenage boy who lived next to Lopez's character. He went on to star as the male lead in the iconic '80s live-action remake of "Jem and the Holograms," playing Rio Racheco,' the road manager and love interest for Jem.
Soon after that, Ryan joined as lead cast in "Everybody Wants Some", the sequel to "Dazed and Confused," from writer and director Richard Linklater, that centers around a group of guys on a baseball team in the 80s. The film released to great reviews. Guzman continued on to star alongside Sylvester Stallone in "Backtrace," opposite Edward James Olmos in the indie film "Windows on the World," and the lead role in the indie thriller "The Cleansing Hour."
