Ryan Thomas was born in Manchester on 10th June 1984 and went to the same school as Simon Gregson and Nicholas Cochrane (although some ten years after). He has younger twin brothers; reality star Scott Thomas and Waterloo Road and former Emmerdale actor Adam Thomas.

Thomas is well known for his Coronation Street role as Jason Grimshaw. He made his debut in the programme on Christmas Day 2000 and departed from the role in June 2016.

Prior to the role of Jason, Thomas appeared as an uncredited extra in Hollyoaks. In 2018, Thomas portrayed Rafael Humphreys in the Australian soap opera Neighbours. This was his final role, and he announced his retirement from acting in March 2021.

Thomas started dating co-star Tina O'Brien - who played his estranged wife Sarah Platt in 2004 and on 26th October 2008 she gave birth to their daughter, Scarlett Jacqueline Thomas. The couple have since separated and have joint custody of their daughter. An actress herself, Scarlett is currently playing Izzy Charles in the reboot of the BBC's Waterloo Road.
