	Rel Hunt as Ryan Scheppers
	actor biography

I was born on August 15, 1974. My full name is Aurel and I am the oldest of four sons born to a Hungarian father and an Australian mother. When I finished my HSC I began a three year Commerce degree at the University of New South Wales. In between studying I dabbled in modelling but I was such a terrible model that my agent at the time gave me a script for Police Rescue and suggested I try that instead! I landed a guest role in two episodes alongside Gary Sweet - this was quite an initiation into acting! Since then I have had roles in Police Rescue: The Movie, G.P., Blue Heelers and a few television commercials.

However, within days of finishing my Commerce Degree, I earned the role of Ryan Scheppers in Heartbreak High and the rest is history. Ryan is the prodigal son - he has been given everything and he takes it for granted. He has never worked for anything and never had to try too hard - he lives for the moment. I have very little in common with him, aside from looks, but I do understand where he is coming from. Ryan would do anything for the people he cares about - especially his sister, Anita.

The cast and crew of this show are very close and I learn every day from the people I work with. For example, I learnt how to get to the lunch trays before the crew!! Seriously, though, I have learnt to take risks and to make things work for me.

It still amuses me that someone who was banned from drama classes at high school because he mucked around too much can end up an actor but I did and I love it!

Since leaving Heartbreak, Rel has appeared in movies such as Cruel Intentions 2, and had a recurring role as Jordan on HEAD START.
