“If people reach perfection they vanish, you know.”
Ryan Dalusung (She/They) is an American actor, born in the Philippine city of Makati and raised in the suburbs of Washington, DC. Inspired by the actor's process and of dramatic storytelling, she eventually sought to explore her identity and artistic craft through a myriad of life experiences—growing up in a Filipino household, finding expressive freedom in the theatre, working in public service, transitioning as an adult, and studying a breadth of unique acting methods, from Japanese Suzuki to the Strasberg method at the Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute in New York.
Between performances, Ryan often enjoys a quiet lifestyle—seeing theatre, attending movie screenings and film festivals, cooking, taking weekend getaways, or simply enjoying city life.
Despite her modest work, Ryan’s grateful and privileged to have worked with a number of renowned artists in past years, like Colman Domingo at Baltimore's Everyman Theatre, or writer Kenneth Lin at DC's Arena Stage. She’s also worked extensively with the Library of Congress in Washington, DC, providing her voice talents as a narrator of written works for the blind reading community across the US.
Ryan is a member of the actors’ unions SAG-AFTRA and AEA.
