Last Sunday, I spent the entire day on the backlot of Warner Brothers shooting the movie, “L’ Opera”. The film is about a homeless man who hears music coming from an old opera house. The homeless man was played by a great actor named Myles. Come to find out, Myles is homeless in real life, and has been homeless since last Tuesday. I was suprised with how positive he was about his situation, and I will never forget him. He will not be homeless long, and I pray that he will get back on his feet real soon. It is just amazing to me, how life can throw you so many challenges. It’s all about your attitude, and how you are going to handle those challenges. You can take them head on, and descide your not going to let them get to you, or you can just give up, and let life get you down. I would hope that we would all have the same attitude as Myles, and not give up on our dreams and take on those challenges.
On Friday, I head back to the JC-TV studios to shoot next months “Rewind”. Just a reminder that “Rewind” is on every Tuesday at 3pm EST. and 12 pm PST.

It has been way too long since my last blog, and I do appologize.
Life has been so busy since my last blog. I first want to remind everyone that you can still catch me every Tuesday at noon P.S.T. on “Rewind” on JC-TV. Great show for the month of May begins next week.
I am also doing a play in Hollywood called “Subway Series” every Friday and Saturday night at 8pm at Theatre 68. For more info go to www.68centcrew.com.
Now for my blog. This Sunday is Mother’s Day, and I have to brag on my mom. I thank God everyday for giving me my mom. I recently went through a really tough time in my life, and I knew that when I needed an encouraging word or prayer, my mom was right there. Even though she was on the other side of the country, I could feel her prayers. There is nothing better than a mom who prays. Since moving here to L.A. I have heard from some of my friends on how their parents don’t support them being out here and pursuing their dreams. Well both my mom and dad not only support me and my dreams, but when I lives in Florida, they were always there to drive me to my auditions in Orlando, North Carolina, and Miami, give me money for headshots, and helped financially with my acting classes. I will never forget, on my first day on the Mickey Mouse Club, my mom making me pancakes in the shape of Mickey Mouse ears. If you want to call me a Mama’s boy, I will be happy to carry that title.
Mom, I love you.

It has been way too long since my last blog.
I have been and continue to face many challenges in my life. I would appreciate your thoughts and prayers right now as I go through life here in Hollywood.
I just want to give you all an update of things to come. For the next 2 months I will be hosting “Rewind” on JC-TV, so check your local listings. Things are still up in the air with my latest documentary. I hope to know something new soon.
I will be in Tampa 2 weeks from today. I can’t wait to get away from L.A. and just take a break. I will also be celebrating my 32nd B-Day while in Florida. I hope to see all my friends.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL,
Ryan Paul James
Happy New Year Everybody!!!

As I look back on this last year, I have to admit that this has been one of the best years of my life. Let me first say that I love living in Los Angeles. I have had so many doors open for me in this year, and I hope to continue to walk through them in 2008.
I want to invite everybody to my latest project: “Night Stories- A Christmas Special”. This is a 1940’s radio play set in New York City on Christmas Eve. Some of Hollywood and New York’s finest actors have all come together to put on a radio play that will have millions of Americans sitting around their Christmas trees listening.

So things are starting to quiet down a bit for me. I just closed “Arsenic and Old Lace” last weekend, and next week will be closing “Resting In Pieces”. It has been such a great experience to have worked with all the actors I have worked with.
I am still in the middle of filming “Getaway”, and when I finish that film, I look forward to working on “Serial Dater”.
One week from today I will be back home in Tampa, Fl. for a 10 day much needed break.
Looking forward to seeing all my friends, and especially my family. This is the longest I have been separated from them, and it’s been tough to see how much both my niece, Bailey, and my nephew, Zach, have grown through cell phone pics.
I almost forgot all this month and next, you can catch me on JC-TV hosting “Rewind”.
GOD BLESS,
Ryan Paul James
What a weeks it has been. It started off really bad, but could not have ended better. It just goes to show, that prayer really does work.
I will not focus on the bad stuff, so I will share the good news. I just booked the lead in a film called “Getaway”. I will start shooting this Sunday for three weeks, and I am really excited about the opportunity.
Just 2 weekends left for “Arsenic and Old Lace”, I will not be doing this week’s matinee. Friday and Saturday night at 8pm at Lonny Chapman Group Rep. Theatre, www.lcgrt.com.
Four weeks left for “Resting In Pieces”. Show times are Wednesday and Thursday nights at 8pm at Theatre 68, www.68centcrew.com.
