The shape I'm in - Fair City's Ryan Andrews on why he can't wait for the panto season to start

Irene Feighan speaks to Fair City’s Ryan Andrews on his health and lifestyle preferences. 

RYAN Andrews may be just 24 years old but already he’s a stage and screen veteran. He’s been working professionally as an actor since he was 10 years old, starring in The Clinic, Prosperity and RTÉ’s hit soap Fair City where he plays the role of Sean Cassidy. But it’s the stage “all day long” that gives him the real buzz.

“When you get your five-minute call, then you get your beginner’s call and you’re on stage — just as the music is playing and the curtain goes up — that’s my adrenalin,” he says of his years spent at the Olympia’s pantomime, where he now plays the lead male role.
