Costa Mesa Playhouse Home RyanHolihan was last seen as Sgt. Toomey in 'Biloxi Blues'.  Off stage, Ryan directed Last seasons fund raiser ‘Heart and Music’ and then ‘The Secret Garden’.  He was also supervising producer for 'The Diary of Anne Frank' and is a proud CMCP board member.  He made his performance debut here in Cinderella Waltz as Zed (the village idiot), a role he often feels a special connection to.  Regional theater credits include Pippin in Pippin, Jack in Into the Woods, Billy Bibbit in One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, and Motel in Fiddler on the roof.  Previous directing credits include Into the Woods, Bus Stop, Weird Romance, and The Secret Garden.  Ryan has had roles in films including The Addams Family, Addams Family Values, Ed Wood, Attack of the 5’2” Women, and the low-budget, sci-fi film Amanda and the Alien.  He has appeared on television shows such as Saved by the Bell, The Drew Carey Show, Ellen, and The Wonder Years.  If you don’t remember him from any of these Films or shows, don’t worry...you probably just blinked.  Ryan wants to say thank you for coming to see Urinetown, he hopes you find it as hilarious as he does, and he wants to thank Greg, Lisa, and Nicki for this experience!  A special thanks to all the board members of the CMCP as well…it takes us all to keep these doors open and I appreciate and love all of you!
