The Truth About Naya Rivera's Ex-Husband, Ryan Dorsey

Us Weekly reports that according to Dorsey's own website, he described himself at one time as "the kid from the coal mining valley of West Virginia [who] had dreams of being a baseball player but high school fate derailed those plans and landed him on the stage, where he fell in love with a new dream." 

After a pit stop at The New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts, Dorsey was able to launch a fairly successful acting career. According to IMDb, the 36-year-old has 35 credits to date, although he's hardly a household name. Among the shows he has appeared in are Stumptown, Yellowstone, Bosch, Ray Donovan, and The Vampire Diaries. His first two major acting credits were small parts on Southland and Parks and Rec in 2013 — not a bad way to kick off a career. He also has one production credit for Heavy Doom, a horror-themed show still in the pre-production phase in which he'll also be playing a starring role.
