Ryan Eggold is a film and television actor. He is best known for his role as Ryan Matthews, on the The CW television series 90210.

Born in 1984 and a native of Southern California, Eggold graduated from Santa Margarita Catholic High School and later from the University of Southern California's theatre arts department in 2006. Eggold also writes music, plays guitar and piano, and sings in his band.

He had recurring roles on CBS's Young and the Restless, HBO's Entourage, Cartoon Network's Out of Jimmy's Head, ABC's Brothers & Sisters and The CW's Veronica Mars, before obtaining his first series regular gig on the FX's Dirt. He continues to recur on Entourage as a member of Johnny Drama's show-within-the-show.

In addition to his work in television, Eggold made his professional stage debut in the 2006 Ahmanson Theatre/Center Theatre Group production Dead End, directed by Nick Martin, and has since appeared in productions of Leipzig, and the LA Weekly Theater Award-winning production of Marat/Sade.

He currently plays English teacher Ryan Matthews in the Beverly Hills 90210 spinoff titled 90210 on the CW, despite the fact that he is less than one year older than several of the other actors who play his students. Eggold will spin off his character of Ryan Matthews unto the CW's revamped Untitled Melrose Place Spinoff, which will give him to portray the role more in depth.
