== Early life and career ==
The youngest of five children, Ryan Stiles was born in Seattle, Washington, to Canadian parents, Irene and Sonny Stiles. He grew up with his mother, a homemaker, and his father, a supervisor at a Vancouver-based Canadian fish processing plant. When he was 10, his family moved to Vancouver, British Columbia. Ryan Stiles attended R.C. Palmer Junior Secondary School and Richmond Senior Secondary in Richmond, British Columbia.〔http://www.worldwizzy.com/library/Palmer_Secondary_School〕〔http://www.canada.com/story_print.html?id=064da7f9-94dc-4234-98f2-48acd2c97426〕 Although he was a good student, Stiles has admitted that "being a high-school senior gave () too much freedom." He got so carried away with his flexible schedule that at age 17, he quit school a few months shy of graduation.
In spite of his parents' objections, he was able to support himself doing stand-up routines at clubs near his home in Vancouver. He helped Rich Elwood start Punchlines Comedy Club. During this time he was the head writer of ''The Don Harron Show'' on CTV and the host of ''Comedy College'' on CBC. Ryan was a regular improv performer with the Vancouver Theatresports League and Punchline's "No Name Player" before joining the Second City comedy ensemble at Expo 86. He continued with Second City in Toronto and later in Los Angeles.
In 1990 Stiles landed a spot in the original British version of ''Whose Line Is It Anyway?'', which lasted for nine years. His performance on the program earned him both critical praise and a devoted fan following in the United Kingdom. This break led to numerous guest appearances on U.S. television programs, including ''Murphy Brown'', ''Mad About You'', and ''The John Larroquette Show'', and an audition for the part as Lewis Kiniski on ''The Drew Carey Show''. Work in the U.S. film industry soon followed, including roles in feature films such as ''Hot Shots!'' and ''Hot Shots! Part Deux'', ''Courting Courtney'', and the Academy Award-nominated short ''Rainbow War''.
