Ryan James Bittle (born March 21, 1976) is an American actor. He began appearing on television in 1994.
Bittle was born in La Crescenta, California, the son of Kathy Homewood, a nurse and ICU director, and Jim Bittle, a retired Glendale fire captain. He has a younger brother, Ron, and an older brother, Jeff. Bittle attended Crescenta Valley High School (where he was an All-American water polo player), Pasadena City College, The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art and The Juilliard School, Drama division (group 31), in New York City.
Bittle originally had plans to play NCAA water polo and then to attend medical school before he discovered acting. In his senior year of high school he began to take an interest which led to him postponing college to play a role in the television series Sweet Valley High.
While studying at Pasadena City College, Bittle continued to work as an actor with guest starring roles in 1996 on the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Boy Meets World and The Parent 'Hood. He also had a recurring role on 7th Heaven as Jessica Biel's early love interest and supporting roles in the films Tear it Down, Devil in the Flesh and The Clown at Midnight. While working on the latter with Christopher Plummer in 1998, Bittle decided he wanted to leave Hollywood for New York to spend some more time studying at The Juilliard School. In New York, Bittle was in numerous productions with the actors Nathan Baesel, Jennifer Carpenter, Daniel Breaker and James Martinez.
