Ryan Langel
Casey Langel’s son and a friend of Joe’s son
A lively young comic part built on confidence, shared history and knowing exactly how to tease Dad.
After the family car is stolen, Ryan turns Casey’s warning about disappearing sports equipment back on him. He knows the joke will land because it belongs to their relationship. Brady and Marco share that familiar world.
Performance opportunity
The young actor can work through timing and reaction: catch the opening, deliver the reversal and watch his father receive it. Relaxed physical rapport makes the boys’ friendship believable. At the birthday dinner, the same family context gives the adult confrontation a different weight. Ryan offers a performer an individual comic beat inside an ensemble that feels connected.
Signature scenes The stolen-car joke; exchanges with Casey and Brady; the birthday gathering.
