Director of Operations,
Ryan Perry - "The Silent Lion"
March 23, 2026

In the early years of National Set Medics, Ryan Perry quietly built a reputation as one of the most trusted and dependable medics in Southern California. He wasn't the loudest voice on set, nor the one seeking recognition-but time and again, production teams relied on his steady presence, sharp instincts, and unwavering professionalism.
Today, with over 300 National Set Medics jobs to his name, Ryan's experience speaks for itself. But what truly sets him apart-and earned him the nickname "The Silent Lion"-is not just his ability to deliver high-quality medical care. It's the way he operates beyond the obvious. Ryan watches. He listens. He anticipates. While others focus only on what's in front of them, he maintains a constant awareness of the entire environment-cast, crew, conditions, and potential risks. And when something isn't right, he doesn't hesitate to step in. To advise. To protect.
That mindset has made him an invaluable leader in his role as Director of Operations. Ryan plays a critical part in coordinating and advising on best practices to ensure productions are covered efficiently, safely, and seamlessly-no matter the scale or complexity. His work spans major productions such as Holey Moley, Teen Mom, and RuPaul's Drag Race, where precision, adaptability, and proactive planning are essential.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Ryan was also instrumental in helping the industry continue operating safely. He played a key role in coordinating thousands of COVID tests, ensuring that productions could move forward while protecting everyone involved. It was a defining moment that highlighted not only his operational expertise, but his commitment to the well-being of others under pressure.
Ryan's approach is simple, but powerful. It reflects years of experience and a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed in high-stakes environments:
"Stay aware, stay ready, and never be afraid to speak up."
It's this philosophy-quiet vigilance paired with decisive action-that defines Ryan Perry as both a leader and a protector. The Silent Lion doesn't need to roar. His presence alone keeps people safe.
Let National Set Medics be you Silent Lion!
