Ever since his childhood, Ryan Gage had wanted to become an actor. Among the various factors that inspired him to this vocation, the most prominent and earliest was Michael Jackson, whose music and dance choreographies Ryan discovered through his brothers. Of the late performer, Michael's ability to express rich personalities (strong, light, sexy, tired, etc.) impressed a lot Ryan who, as he explains, "was always struck by the way he [Michael] became different people in his songs. I noticed the psychological beats expressed in dance and song, and from there, I got involved in drama.".
