Matt Ryan was born in Swansea, Wales, to parents Steve Evans, a postman turned record producer, and Maria Evans, a dance teacher. He attended Penyrheol Primary and Comprehensive schools in Gorseinon before moving on to the nearby Gorseinon College where he completed a BTEC Performing Arts course. As a child, he appeared in the West End production of Les Misérables, in the role of Gavroche. He graduated from the Bristol Old Vic in 2003 and joined the Royal Shakespeare Company in 2004.

He had a lead role as Mick Rawson on CBS' "Criminal Minds" spin-off series, "Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior."

Up to this point Ryan has been unknown to most audiences but that may soon change with his role as the title character in NBC's "Constantine" premiering in Fall 2014. The show is based on characters in the DC Comics' stories about John Constantine, and enigmatic con man turned supernatural detective.
