Timeline

1959

Ryan Lee Stiles (born April 22, 1959) is an American-Canadian actor, comedian, and producer whose work is often associated with improvisational comedy.

He is best known for his work on Whose Line Is It Anyway, both the original British version and the subsequent American version, and for his role as Lewis Kiniski on The Drew Carey Show.

He also played Herb Melnick on the CBS comedy Two and a Half Men and was a performer on the show Drew Carey's Improv-A-Ganza.

The youngest of five children, Ryan Stiles was born in Seattle to Canadian parents Irene and Sonny Stiles.

He grew up with his mother, a homemaker, and his father, a supervisor at a Vancouver-based Canadian fish processing plant.

When he was ten, his family moved to Vancouver, British Columbia.

Ryan Stiles attended R.C. Palmer Junior Secondary School and Richmond Senior Secondary in Richmond, British Columbia.

Although he was a good student, Stiles has admitted that "being a high-school senior gave [him] too much freedom."

He got so carried away with his flexible schedule that at age 17, he quit school a few months shy of graduation.

Despite his parents' objections, he was able to support himself doing stand-up routines at clubs near his home in Vancouver.

He helped Rich Elwood start Punchlines Comedy Club.

During this time he was the head writer of The Don Harron Show on CTV and the host of Comedy College on CBC.

Stiles was a regular improv performer with the Vancouver Theatresports League and Punchlines' "No Name Player" before joining the Second City comedy ensemble at Expo 86.

He continued performing with Second City in Toronto and later in Los Angeles.

1981

In 1981, Stiles met Patricia McDonald at Punchlines where she was a waitress.

1988

They have three children.

When not working, he lives at his home on Lake Samish, outside Bellingham, Washington, where he opened the Upfront Theatre, a small theatre dedicated to live improv comedy.

1989

By 1989, Stiles had gained the attention of the producers of the British improvisational comedy show Whose Line Is It Anyway? Stiles was a regular on the show until its end in 1998.

His performance on the program earned him both critical praise and a devoted fan following in the United Kingdom.

1991

Stiles appeared in the 1991 film Hot Shots! as Mailman Farnham and its 1993 sequel, Hot Shots! Part Deux, as marine Rabinowitz.

1994

During the 1994 Major League Baseball strike, Stiles appeared in several commercials for Nike, hanging out in an empty ballpark, doing things such as playing the organ and attempting to do the wave alone.

The commercials ended with the line: "Play ball. Please."

1995

In 1995, Stiles was asked by American comic Drew Carey to be a regular on his comedy The Drew Carey Show.

Stiles played Carey's erudite but underachieving best friend, Lewis Kiniski.

In 1998, Carey successfully lobbied ABC to produce an American version of Whose Line Is It Anyway? Following the final season of the British version in 1998, the American version premiered, with both Stiles and Carey credited as executive producers.

2002

Stiles received a nomination for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program in 2002 for his work on the show.

A running gag of the show is Stiles' flashy dress shoes as well as his frequent impressions of American actress Carol Channing.

Though he never appeared in the series, Stiles (along with Kaitlin Olson) performed in the taping of the unaired pilot episode of Drew Carey's Green Screen Show, which involved improv games similar to Whose Line? games played in front of a massive green screen.

Animation was later added to the improv footage.
