Summary
From model to MMA fighter to actor, 37-year-old Ryan Guzman has garnered a dedicated following thanks to roles on the silver screen — through the ‘Step Up’ movie franchise — and primetime, where he’s been playing firefighter Eddie Diaz on the Ryan Murphy-produced procedural drama ‘9-1-1.’
The Texas-born, Mexican-American actor joins us in the studio for the first time to share his journey up to this point, including his love of mixed martial arts, what it was like coming up as a broke model, and his transition to acting. Plus, he discusses landing a breakdancing role with zero dance experience, being a dad, Catholic guilt, identity, and dealing with male objectification.
Guzman also opens up about the heartbreaking loss of his dear friend, choreographer and actor Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss, who really took him under his wing while working on ‘Step Up.’
