Jack Ryder | Known For: Eastenders, On Air For 36 Years

If you have this photo as a reference, you would most likely not be able to recognize Jack Ryder today. The picture above must have been taken in his adolescence, whereas he is currently 39 years old. The British actor earned widespread recognition after bringing Jamie Mitchell’s character on EastEnders to life.

Since finishing work on the show in 2002, Ryder has also gone into working as a director and writer—earning credits for both in Act of Memory: A Christmas Story. He only recently became a parent for the first time when his girlfriend Ella gave birth to a baby named Marnie.
