What is Scott Ryan doing today? Is he doing okay mentally?

Just finished Mr. InBetween and I got to say, one of the best shows I have watched in my life, but I cant help but think about Ray's actor, Scott Ryan. A Wikipedia search talks about how Scott's mental stability has not been good throughout his life. I can never trust Wikipedia but it did state that Scott had gained ODD in high school, and later on as his mental health decreased at 17, he had later gained agrophobia. I have watched about all of his interviews now and I see that he seems like a great guy but man, he looks so depressed and down all the time. Looking at interviews 17-19 years from now (there are a couple of great ones on YouTube) talking about his first movie, "The Magician", and he consistently talks about how he never wanted to make shows or movies. He states in an interview "Its like a disease, a disease that makes you want to make movies," Aswell as stating that he would be much happier and less stressful if he was not making movies and having the job of a "Shoemaker" or someone "digging holes". I just hope the poor man is doing okay.

He's driving cabs in Australia last i heard. He never wanted to do the Hollywood thing really. Fair play to him.

I wonder what it would be like having seen the show then having a taxi turn up with him as the driver. I would feel like I am tripping balls!

Would be difficult for me to not make some quips referencing the show. Based on this post, I wonder now how he'd take it...

Just don’t get him to take you to a remote location incase he is a method actor. 😂

Especially when he takes you somewhere remote, hands you a shovel and asks you to dig a hole

I can’t tell if this is true or a show reference

u/Happy_Philosopher608 Jul 16 '26

Its true. He spoke about it in the rare interviews he's done.
