Ryan Ochoa grew up in Southern California where he began his acting career at 5 years old. He has always loved to entertain family and friends since a toddler, imitating WWE Superstars including Dwayne Johnson, which to this day is still one of his favorite actors and biggest inspirations.
Ryan booked his first commercial audition then got his first national commercial for "Dairy Queen" at 8 years old. He caught the acting bug and went on to do more national commercials, one in particular with his two younger brothers Robert Ochoa and Raymond Ochoa, who were in the spot with him.
He began to expand his career by booking his first theatrical role in a short film, which led to a couple indie features and went on to land his first feature film The Perfect Game (2009) opposite Clifton Collins Jr., Cheech Marin, and Academy Award Winner Louis Gossett Jr.. The film was a true story about the 1957 Mexican Little League team from Monterrey, who were the first non-U.S team to win the Little League World Series. Ryan portrayed the catcher Norberto Villarreal, and to this day, he remains good friends with most of his cast.
His big break came in 2008 when he was cast in the motion capture film A Christmas Carol (2009) written and directed by Academy Award winning director Robert Zemeckis and starring Jim Carrey and Academy Award winner Gary Oldman. Ryan had multiple credited roles in the film including the voice of Tiny Tim. After production ended, Ryan ended up working for Mr. Zemeckis on two more movies he was producing, including Mars Needs Moms (2011).
He then was cast as Chuck Chambers in a re-curring role on Nickelodeon's hit show iCarly (2007) as the nemesis to Spencer. A year later Disney came calling...
They cast him as a series regular on Disney XD's Pair of Kings (2010). Ryan played Lanny, the disgruntled, bitter cousin to the twin kings, where his main goal was to steal the throne. He was on the show for 3 seasons where he appeared in all episodes produced.
His first leading role in a film was with Universal/Disney in the movie Mostly Ghostly: Have You Met My Ghoulfriend? (2014).
In 2012, Ryan formed a music "hip-hop-hype" group with his three brothers Rick Ochoa, Robert Ochoa, and Raymond Ochoa, the "Ochoa Boyz." They have toured the U.S. performing at hundreds of concerts and private events. Their music can also be heard in several of the movies Ryan and Raymond have starred in. They write, co-produce, and direct their own music and music videos together with Ryan's production company, Triple 'R' Productions. Ryan shows daily that he not only loves being in front of the camera, but behind the camera too.
In 2018, Ryan starred opposite Emmy and Tony award winner Hal Linden in The Samuel Project (2018). Ochoa plays Eli, an aspiring artist who builds a relationship with his grandfather Samuel, (Hal Linden) by making Samuel the subject of his art project. This earned both Ochoa and Mr. Linden "Best Actor" nominations at the San Diego Film Awards, where their film also won "Best Narrative Feature" and "Best Director," respectively.
Following "The Samuel Project," Ochoa suited up in U.S. military attire in the Netflix documentary series, Medal of Honor (2018) marking this as his fourth project with Robert Zemeckis and his team, whom produced alongside Academy Award winner James Moll.
Within one week of wrapping "Medal of Honor," Ochoa was off to Sedona, Arizona where he would portray the neighborhood street punk skater, Wayne, in the thriller Room for Rent (2019) starring Lin Shaye. Ryan credits Casey Price, the 1st Assistant Director on the film, for referring him to the director. Ochoa worked with Casey earlier that year on "The Samuel Project," where he built a lifelong friendship with Casey and many of the cast and crew.
Ryan's official debut album "R-TYPE" with the "Ochoa Boyz" was released at the top of 2020. Ryan, his brothers, and their standalone producer were the only writers on the album, being they are the only writers listed on all 17 tracks. Each brother feature on their own individual track as well, showcasing their musical talents in three different style records.
Ochoa is not only producing films now, but directing short films and music videos in between his own projects. Ryan is currently working on new shows to be released later this year.
Ochoa feels like his journey is just beginning, and spends his time studying his craft, creating new content, expanding his business mindset, accomplishing fitness goals, all while focusing to fulfill his quote, "If I can inspire just ONE person, then I have accomplished my purpose!"
Whether it's with a camera or on stage with a mic, Ryan was born to entertain and inspire others along the way, making sure the world will always "DREAM, WISH, BELIEVE."Only a year ago as of this writing, he was plotting against Jerry Trainor's character on "iCarly" and rapping with Jennette McCurdy backstage. Today, he's plotting against Mitchel Musso & Doc Shaw's characters on Disney XD's "Pair of Kings." With his recent appearence on the phony Disney Channel "Friends for Change" games, it looks like he's there to stay... until he grows up.- Other than Wizards of Waverly Place, Daniel has guest-starred on Entourage, Hannah Montana, CSI: New York, Without a Trace, iCarly, Zoey 101, and is the voice of Teo in Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Daniel moved with his family to Florida when he was 11 years old, but he now lives in California. Daniel was shopping with his mother at the mall when they were approached by an agent and asked if he would be interested in modeling. He booked 60 print jobs in a 4 month period! Daniel's interest in acting soon became stronger and he worked on several commercials and student films. From paying a blind child in "Ephraim" at 11 years old, (Daniel's first lead role in a short film) - this young actor has shown his abilities in a variety of diverse roles.
Daniel is enjoying all the challenges that acting brings him while continuing to pursue craftsmanship. Daniel freelances as a carpenter, practices knife making, and is an independent locksmith.
