Robert Ryan is one of my favorite actors so I decided to create a list of every film that he appeared in. His career spanned 47 years from 1940 to 1987. His IMDb ratings ranged from 5.4 (Behind the Rising Sun in 1943) to 8.1 (The Wild Bunch 1969).
Early Acting Career 1937. His acting career began in 1937 in a small theater group in Chicago and he began stage training the following year in the Max Reinhardt Workshop in Hollywood. Also in 1938 he did a screen test for Paramount Studios. It was unsuccessful but led in late 1939 to a standard six month contract with the studio.
