Ryan James Thomas (born 10 June 1984) is an English actor best known for playing the character Jason Grimshaw on ITV's Coronation Street.
Thomas has been nominated for various "Sexiest Male"-type awards. He also won the award for Rear of the Year in 2008.
Besides playing Jason Grimshaw in Coronation Street, Thomas has also taken part in many programmes related to the soap opera. In 2012, Thomas took part in a documentary called Corrie Goes to Kenya, with Brooke Vincent who plays Sophie Webster in the soap, Sue Cleaver, who plays his on-screen mother Eileen Grimshaw and Ben Price who plays Nick Tilsley. He said that his time in Kenya changed him as a person and made him realise how much he has in life. In the documentary he had to take part in the killing of a goat, which is seen as an honour in that country.
Thomas left Coronation Street in 2016 to pursue a career in Hollywood.
In 2013, Thomas filed for bankruptcy following an unpaid tax bill of £40,000.
Thomas was arrested in 2016 after being drunk and disorderly in a Lake District nightclub. He was fined £90.
In 2016, it was rumoured that he was romantically involved with his Coronation Street co-star Alison King after he shared pictures of them on holiday together with their children. They denied that they were a couple.
He is also the brother of Emmerdale star, Adam Thomas.
