Description

Hi there! I’m Debby Ryan. I’ve been an actor since I was thirteen - I’ve had the immense pleasure of creating TV shows and movies in which every story has a beginning, middle and end. But we all know, life isn’t like that. There are so many experiences in my life I haven’t gotten into because I didn’t feel like the media was the best place to open up about them. But this feels like a really great place for me to sit down with some incredible, smart and interesting people that I’ve met through my work and have those meaningful conversations with. Each week, I’m going to sit down with another guest as we try to be fully open and honest with each other and hopefully learn a thing or two along the way.

On this episode of There You Are, I let you into my cup. Fan faves Kimmy Shields and Sam Lansky return to have a less-than-serious conversation about what we've been sipping on.
On this episode of There You Are, I had a quick sweet conversation with Kimmy Shields [Insatiable, Big Little Lies, Ad Astra] out of abundance and not exhaustion.

Welcome to the Season 2 premiere of There You Are. In this episode I talk with Mark Hoppus [Blink 182, Simple Creatures], Karan Brar [Jessie TBT, Pacific Rim: Uprising, Stargirl], and Sam Lansky [Author, "The Gilded Razor", "Broken People"] about some of our favorite fiction shows we've watched over the last year... Something for everyone!! Plus I throw in a few bonuses at the end because I like to talk!
