Rylee Ryan is an American actress, musician, and licensing manager based in Los Angeles, working across film and television. She is best known for her award-winning portrayal of Savannah Swanson, the popular blonde high school student, on the syndicated Pure Flix and CW family drama *Up on High Ground*—a role that earned her the 2020 Detaron TV Best Actress award.
In late 2012, Ryan took on a pivotal role in the short film *To Inflict*. She played a stubborn lead character pressured by a coworker to contribute to a retirement collection. Her unscripted reaction to a sudden outburst of anger became a defining moment in the film. Her sister, Molly, also appeared alongside her in this project, as well as in other films and TV series.
Beyond acting, Ryan contributed her vocals to the opening title theme of *Up on High Ground*. After graduating from California State University, Northridge in 2019, she continued to earn critical acclaim for her independent film and television work. Since then, she has transitioned into larger Hollywood productions, appearing in big-budget films and expanding her presence in the entertainment industry.
