Tyson Jay Ritter (born April 24, 1984) is an American singer-songwriter, musician, actor and model, best known as the lead vocalist, bassist, pianist, and songwriter of the pop punk band The All-American Rejects. As an actor, Ritter appeared as Dane on Amazon Video's Betas, recurred as rock musician Oliver Rome on NBC's Parenthood, and had supporting roles in the films The House Bunny (2008), Love and Mercy (2014), and Miss You Already (2015).
Ritter was born and raised in Stillwater, Oklahoma. His mother, Tracey Rains, is an employee at Stillwater Public Schools. He has an older brother, Zack, who is an endodontist, and a younger sister, Bailey. He and his siblings graduated from Stillwater High School. Ritter met his bandmates while he was bouncing a party in middle school.
After Jesse Tabish quit the band, and with the additions of Mike Kennerty and Chris Gaylor, The All-American Rejects were picked up by Doghouse Records, and later DreamWorks Records, and finally with the current major label of Interscope Records. The All-American Rejects have released four albums to date, and have sold over 10 million albums worldwide, and 4 million singles.
Ritter has appeared in television series and films such as House (2007), The House Bunny (2008), Betas (2013–14), and Parenthood (2013–15). On November 5, 2013, Ritter released the song "Air" as a solo song to help "ride between the Rejects' next record", which was featured on Parenthood.
