The Sex and the City movie has hired a new dude. Actor Max Ryan, who you probably didn’t see in Death Race or League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, will play a love interest for Samantha. “Max Ryan” sounds like a suave secret agent, there’s no way he was born with that name.  Ten bucks his real name is Clarence Taintberg or something.

The English-born actor is stepping into the role of Rikard, an European architect who crosses paths with Samantha.

Oh my gosh this sounds awesome you guys!  *spreads peanut butter on balls* The guy also has a strangely worded IMDB profile that I suspect he wrote himself, which makes him sound like some kind of dyslexic superhero.

The moments kept coming and unusual circumstances would continue to arise when during a family ski holiday he heard a scream outside his hotel apartment, when he went to see where the noise was coming from he saw an Alsatian dog attacking two girls in the snow. Ryan jumped over the balcony and fell three stories landing in deep snow breaking his fall. Ryan fought with the dog allowing the girls to escape safely back into the building. After years of unusual and great circumstances Ryan moved to London and enrolled in a day theatre class, shortly afterwards he was asked to cast for a TV commercial and with the success of that he began working as a professional actor.

“So, how’d you get into acting?”

“You know, enrolled in the Boston conservatory, did a little musical theater, then I moved to L.A.  The youge.  Why, how’d you get into acting?”

“Saved some chicks from a dog fight.”
