| Show more » | | 47 movies | 215 Blu-ray releases | 325 DVD releases Character actor John P. Ryan was born on July 30, 1936 in New York City. John made his film debut in the 1967 comedy "The Tiger Makes Out." He appeared in five pictures for Jack Nicholson; he's especially memorable as male nurse Spicer in "Five Easy Pieces." Manic, pale-eyed and craggy-faced, with an often intense and explosive screen presence, Ryan was frequently cast as nasty villains, hard-boiled police officers, and strict military men. He also portrayed sadistic prison Warden Ranken in the powerful "Runaway Train," and lethal robot history teacher Mr. Hardin in "Class of 1999." Following his final film appearance in "Bound," John spent his later years giving acting lessons and was an advocate of spiritual healing. John P. Ryan died from a stroke at age 70 on March 20, 2007 in Los Angeles, California.2fans 9411Theatricalcollections 49915Blu-raycollections 18994DVDcollections | | Average movie rating Based on 47 movies and 3515 ratingsHighest rated: 8.4 / 10 M*A*S*H (1972-1983) Lowest rated: 5.2 / 10 Fatal Beauty (1987) | | ---------------- | | --------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
