The series is a sexy, dark and edgy psychological thriller that follows the life of Luke, a famous motivational speaker who has is own demons to overcome and a dark side he tries to keep hidden. The series was nominated for a prestigeous 2009 “Webby” award, as well as being an official honoree as Best Drama Series of the year.

Ryan was born and raised in Western Pennsylvania and from a very young age knew he wanted to be an actor. However, growing up in a working class town with an old fashioned Italian father, he was not able to explore theatre or the arts as he may have desired and instead immersed himself in sports and spent his summers working at the local steel mill.

After moving to Virginia to attend VCU, Ryan was finally able to explore his other interests. Majoring in Advertising/ Art Design he took his minor in film and dove head first into the world of cinema he loved so much as a child. It was also in Virginia where he signed with his first agent and started booking local commercials, print campaigns and small roles in some Hollywood features being shot in the area, including The Contender starring Gary Oldman. Ryan finally knew for sure that this was what he wanted to do for the rest of his life.

Ryan graduated and moved to Los Angeles where he went immediately to work, booking an episode of CSI: Miami, a recurring role on the daytime drama Passions and started his own production company, Rooster Films with producer Christopher Sherman. It was during the crippling writer’s strike that the two were trying to come up with ideas to keep themselves busy that the concept for Luke 11:17 was born. “It started with a cage and just kind of went from there” says Cafeo “But wasn’t originally intended for the web.” With its enormous success and popularity, the two are now shopping the concept around Hollywood and hope to continue the saga on a major cable network where they can bring their full sized vision to life.
