Welcome to the Official Website of Ryan Murray!
(Current Updates as of 3/09)

Happy 2009! Thanks to all who have been checking back in from time to time!

Lots of new things have transpired. The biggest change is I have now become a SPINNING INSTRUCTOR!!! I received my certification in January and already teach for 4 clubs here in Manhattan; Sports Club L.A., NYRHC, Clay, and Club H!!! If you are near by and feel like sweating- contact me via email or on Facebook- and you can be my guest. Remember, it is first come first serve- I can only get so many people in. You will also find a schedule of when I am teaching, on Facebook- check around my site for the new 'Facebook Badges' that will link you directly to my profile!

Ironically, I have also just landed the world premier of a one man show, Off B'way, entitled "King of the Mountain." My character is racing his final race in the Tour De France and YES, I will be on a bike the entire time, approximately 1 hour, racing to the finish line- while talking!!! Who knew, as a spinning instructor, that I have been training for this show all along? I believe there will only be 3 performances @ Manhattan Rep. (for this incarnation) at the end of April. More details to come!

And, if you are still dedicatedly tuning in to catch me on Guiding Light, then be sure to watch/tivo/or dvr it on April 9th- my next scheduled episode, at 10AM est on CBS!

AND, you heard it here first...you may also be seeing me on As The World Turns in the near furture...KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED!!!

Also, check out my NEW YouTube links under Videos on the Gallery page. For those of you who have missed my past few concerts, I have provided links to the crowd "favorites!" They are gut-busters!

...Remember when I was in the recording studio laying down those new tracks??? Well they are here on the Gallery page under Voice Clips...And the most exciting part of it all is that LAUREN KENNEDY, yes the one and only, graciously agreed to record a duet with me. We recorded Jason Robert Brown’s “I’d Give It All For You.” All I can say is WOOOOOOOHOOOOOO! We had such a blast and I am forever indebted to her!

And what of the Lone Star drama you may be asking yourselves? Well we are still, yes STILL, waiting in the wings for a new start date! KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED again!!! It is going to happen!

As many of you know I was slotted to make my Broadway debut in Lone Star Love for the 07/08 season at the Belasco Theatre. We are still on a bit of a hiatus and will hopefully go back into rehearsals soon. After we won the hearing, the Quaid’s appealed - big surprise. Then they dropped the ball, missed a few deadlines, and we won by default. Now we are just hoping for a settlement to be reached…that is all I can say but if you want a bit more of the original story, please read below and visit my Press page for the articles...

…there have been huge “goings-on” in the past few weeks and you really have been stuck under a rock if you have not heard. All of us actors from the show went to our union- Actors’ Equity- to file charges against Randy Quaid and his wife/manager Evi Quaid. The long and short of it is that they found Randy guilty on ALL counts, banned him from the union FOR LIFE, and fined him $81,000. Evi also caused quite a stink in the L.A. office- attacking one poor 76 year old member, drawing blood, etc. I encourage you to go to my PRESS page and click on the updated links!!! It is stranger than fiction my friends and it is ALL TRUE! If anyone wants to offer me a book deal now, I have already started writing!!! If you have any further questions, please
feel free to email me and I will fill you in as best I can.

Despite the set back I am confident that the show will prevail- and with this new development, it is now much easier for us- being publicly legitimized and all! Also, Lone Star Love has not been around for 18 years
to just quit now. We had a blast in Seattle, for the most part, and the show was received well. The only bad things to be said about the show we already knew, but since the show was “frozen” due to circumstances out of our control, I am also confident that when things are ironed out we will have one helluva show to bring to New York.

In the meantime, please think great and positive thoughts for LSL, for this is not just another show to bite the dust on its way to the Great White Way. We have a special little show with lots of heart and personality and I pray you will all get the chance to see it in all its glory!!!

Thanks so much for visiting and please come back soon! To get in touch with me please email me at ryan@ryan-murray.com or come say Hi on Facebook!

Truly-
Ryan
