Though, as we say, we are only as good as our last project. So, when none of those scenarios are keeping my time busy, I am hitting the pavement; sharing my headshot and resume, and looking for the next project to keep my attention and captivate my imagination.
We also may have the opportunity to reap the benefits from our hard work with acclamations from around the globe.
Every now and again we actors see ourselves on the big screen in a surreal spectacle that never ceases to surprise us.
There are also times when my services are needed in commercials. Combining my authoritative voice and humorous antics to push a product or advertise an amenity.
Sometimes I don’t even have to be seen to go to work. After all, if I’m going to make a career out of doing wacky voices and talking to myself; I’m going to need a padded room to do it in.
Rylan Nilsson
Being on stage is another element in this art that I always find myself drifting back to. I absolutely love doing theatre! There’s just something about performing for a live audience that I find truly magical.
Rylan Nilsson
The first thing that everybody expects is, of course, doing our thing in front of a film camera. Reciting our lines with humorous or dramatic effect. But that’s only a part of the craft…
Rylan Nilsson
But when all is said and done, and the sun begins to set, I will always have my family to keep me grounded. My wife is my world and my life. Through her support and encouragement, I find myself ready to take it all on again tomorrow.

Which ’hood are you in?

For the last 3 years, I have called Calgary my home and before that, I resided in Lethbridge. I absolutely love it up here and have every intention of staying.

What do you do?

I am a stage and screen actor as well as a voice actor. The projects I have worked on encapsulate everything from films and tv series to audiobooks and commercials to even video games and toys!

What are you currently working on?

In terms of acting work, I just recently wrapped on a feature film where I provided a supporting role. (You’ll have to wait to hear more about that one, haha). I also will be heading up to Edmonton for a lead role in another project going into production soon. Apart from those, I have a constant flow of voice-over work that keeps me busy. Nothing currently on the docket in terms of theatre, unfortunately.

Where can we find your work?

All over the world, to be honest, haha. My voice work, for instance, has been showcased a lot overseas. In fact, there’s even a theme park attraction down in the states that I provide a voiceover for, so that’s fun. But if you’d like to see what I’m up to from the comfort of your phone or computer, I primarily post on Instagram or Facebook and I just barely started getting back into LinkedIn after literally years of inactivity.
