Give a kid a dumb name and you might not like the way he grows up.

 It's a well known fact that kids who are picked on because of their names often have issues later in life. We're still not certain that Ryan is really his name.  There have been plenty of people generally thought to have been named that who were, in fact, named something else. ( 1 )( 2 ) And, while 58 is certainly old to have been named Ryan, he was born after the show Peyton Place started to air staring Charles Patrick Ryan O'Neal.

Not surprising

Ryan is independent of any diocese, and he claims to have been a victim of sexual assault at the hands of a group of priests in 1976, which no one has been able to verify. For a time, I was inclined to believe him. But, the more I found out about his background, the more I realized that Ryan is nothing more than a  fraud .

Thomas Fortune Ryan (October 17, 1851 – November 23, 1928) was an American tobacco, insurance and transportation magnate. Although he lived in New York City for much of his adult career, Ryan was perhaps the greatest benefactor of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Richmond in the decades before the Great Depression. In addition to paying for schools, hospitals and other charitable works, Ryan's donations paid for the construction of the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart in Richmond, Virginia. Ryan also made significant donations to Catholic institutions in New York City and Washington, D.C. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Fortune_Ryan

While set in South Florida, it is obviously filmed in the Southwestern USA. (there are desert mountains in the backgrounds of many shots)   The romantic chemistry between Potter and Gunn's characters, Tom Ryan and Cassandra St. John, respectively (who, according to the story line, had been married to and divorced from one another before their arrival on the series), revived interest in the show and it rebounded in the ratings. After three additional seasons, USA cancelled the series in 1999. [7]  The final episode of the final season, in spring 1999, placing Tom's career and relationship with Cassy on the rocks, was a cliffhanger with no resolution.
