Link to the n*de dudes
I never heard of The Pretender (1996-2000), and no wonder: it aired on Saturday nights, when only the over 80 crowd was home, and it was surrounded by ultra-conservative "God and family" shows that I wouldn't dream of watching: Walker, Texas Ranger? Doctor Quinn, Medicne Woman? COPS?
But if you watched, you would see Michael T. Weiss, who played a gay guy in Jeffrey (1992), as Jarod, a genius who travels from town to town, taking on various jobs (pilot, physician, lawyer, lots of cops) to help people and meet girls. How does he get the credentials and references?Left: Michael n*de on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends.
Ryan achieved Disney kid fame with Luck of the Irish (2001), about a teenager who discovers that he's actually a Leprechaun (well, half-Leprechaun on his mother's side). While questing for the maguffin, he gets a Leprechaun ally (gay actor Henry Gibson) and a girlfriend.
Like many teen actors, a gay-vague childhood gave way to "Girls! Girls! Girls!"
His Scoobies include Eric Balfour (n*de on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends) and The Girl.
Ryan returns to television as Ian Thomas in 16 episodes of Pretty Little Liars (2010-14). Ian is the coach of the high school track team and a member of the N.A.T. Club ('We see all"). He engages in various acts of skullduggery and kisses various girls before his death.

I've been continuing to research Ryan because he is kissing Devon Sawa in this photo, suggesting that they played a gay couple at some point. But they have never appeared together on screen. They were in different Final Destination movies, and different episodes of Hawaii Five-O.
Devon Sawa's backside.
Not much of gay interest in Ryan's recent work. His last movie to date is Diamond Rose (2025). The one about the actress romancing a cowboy, not the Diamond Rose (2025) about a ballet dancer turned str*pper.
I think the cowboy is played by Joey Lawrence.

Ryan has been married twice and has some kids, but almost all of his Instagram photos show him surrounded by guys. They're engaged in manly pursuits like golfing, boating, drinking beer, hugging, and...um...cuddling in a hot tub.

And gay kids would have noticed the numerous flashbacks featuring the gay-vague Young Jarod (Ryan Merriman, top photo). They knew that he was going to grow up to be the girl-hugging Jarod, but still, he had the whole "different from other boys" trope.
Not a bad start for a 13-year old theater kid from "family friendly" Choctaw, Oklahoma.

Like many teen actors, Ryan next moved into horror with Halloween: Resurrection (2002): he fights Freddie Krueger and gets a girlfriend.
The Ring 2 (2005): He and his girlfriend watch the cursed tape.
Final Destination 3 (2006): He and his girlfriend survive a roller coaster accident. But Death has other ideas.

But it gets worse.
Wait -- I figured Veritas: The Quest (2003-04) was a fundamentalist project. Who would entitle a tv series THE TRUTH? But it was actually about a rebellious teenager (Ryan) tracking down magical artifacts like Leonardo Da Vinci's notebook and a crystal skull owned by Hitler.
His Scoobies include Eric Balfour (n*de on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends) and The Girl.
Next came some comedies that I'm too discouraged to research, but you can get an idea of their plots from the titles and Ryan's backside shots Wild Cherry, Elevator Girl, Cheesecake Casserole, Tomorrow's End, Attack of the 50 Foot Cheerleader...
Well, maybe not Tomorrow's End. The title is completely misleading: it's not about the end of the world, it's a series of comedy shorts.
More after the break.

It was filmed in Roswell, New Mexico, but there are no aliens.

Maybe there's some gay/bi content in his life after all.
