Jack Ryder – EastEnders – Age 39
One-trick pony Jack Ryder is definitely not. After charming young women as Jamie Mitchell in EastEnders, he moved on to do even more amazing things in his career. His creative pursuits made him a successful theater director having directed productions of The Full Monty, Calendar Girls, and History Boys.
Ryder didn’t forget his passion for acting, though, and he went on to appear in the medical drama Holby City from 2012 to 2019. Becoming a first-time father in 2020, he also turned his sights on writing books. He released his debut children’s book, Jack’s Secret Summer, the same year.
