Ryan Thomas (born 10 June 1984 in Manchester) is an English actor who is currently starring as Jason Grimshaw on ITV's Coronation Street.
Ryan joined the show in 2000.
He has a younger brother, Adam Thomas, who is currently starring as Donte Charles in BBC One drama series, Waterloo Road.
Ryan has hit the headlines for a number of reasons over the years. In 2005 he was snapped by The Sun driving without a license.[1] He was also involved in a brawl at his 21st Birthday.[2]
Since the departure of his girlfriend Tina O'Brien from Coronation Street, Ryan's future in the show has been in doubt. Rumours that Jason Grimshaw would be axed from the show have so far appeared unfounded. However Ryan admitted he would find it tough without her.[3]
Ryan has been nominated for various awards away from his acting most of which are "Sexiest Male" gongs.[4]
[edit] Personal life
He has also stated he likes to keep his private life out of the public eye, but admitted some stories are "unavoidable."
He has been dating co-star Tina O'Brien (Sarah Grimshaw) since 2004. On 5 April 2008, Tina and Ryan announced that they are expecting their first child together.[5]
Despite playing bitter enemies on-screen, he is actually good friends with Jack P. Shepherd (David Platt).[6]
