comments: Another hottie from down under, Ryan Kwanten hails from the beautiful 2000 Olympic host city of Sydney. If you've seen him on "Home and Away" you know he's in great shape. He claims to do 750 pushups every few days and he's also active in ironman races and most sports. Ryan started acting at age 16 after accidently getting signed to an agency (see story below). Now on "Home and Away" we think the show wouldn't be the same without him.

How he got into acting: "I was on my way to swimming training one day, my mum was dropping me off and on the way my brother was auditioning to get into an acting agency. So he went inside and I sat in the car. As time passed I thought I was going to be late so I marched into the building with the towel around my waist and goggles on my head and I asked Mum what was taking so long. And just as I did my brother came out of the audition with the agent and she asked me if I was there to audition as well. I said no, I was just on my way to swimming training. She asked me to come in anyway and see how I fared. And to cut a long story short, I got into the agency and he didn't!"
