Michelle Ryan | Known For: EastEnders, On Air For 5 Years

When Michelle Ryan was just 16 years old, she got the opportunity of a lifetime, getting the role of Zoe on EastEnders. She continued playing that role, even after she was done with high school, concluding her collaboration with the show in 2005. Today, she’s worth around $1.1 million.

Of course, EastEnders hardly begins to scratch the surface of her acting career. Ryan has since been in series like the Bionic Woman, and recently, a couple of Park Stories episodes. She’s not acted since 2020, though, which probably means that she’s taking things slowly at the moment.
