Toren Atkinson as Ryan

Toren Atkinson was born in Manitoba, although he lived most of his life in Alberta and British Columbia. He was born in 1970.

In 1992, he gathered together some friends and spawned the H.P. Lovecraft-inspired punk band, The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets. He successfully flogged his home-style Cthulhu art to the good people at Pagan Publishing. This was the seed from which blossomed a comfy career in the world of freelance art. Toren's first author credits came in 2002 with Spaceship Zero: The Roleplaying Game.

He helped to create a pair of Lovecraftian movies, "Return to Innsmouth" and "From Beyond", and even brought Portland's H.P. Lovecraft film festival north to his home town of Vancouver. He has provided voiceover work for such cartoons as Mr. Dink, and his on-screen film work includes "Unrecoverable Error."
