I’m so sorry to learn of Mr. Ryan’s death; he looked well at that DS “A Christmas Carol” reading in December. Mr. Ryan and Jonathan Frid were just about at the same age when both men died, at around 88-years-old.
Sadly, there aren’t many of the male DS actors left, with David Selby, Roger Davis, David Henesy and James Storm remaining. Thankfully many of the DS actresses are still with us: Nancy Barrett, KLS, Alexandra Moltke-Ives, Lara Parker, Marie Wallace, Donna Wandrey, Kathie Cody, Donna McKechnie and Kate Jackson.
Requiem aeternam, Mr. Ryan.
