Steve Ryde

Steve Ryde is a British actor, voice-over artist, and television producer born on 8 December 1971. He built his career in children's programming, initially as an off-screen voice-over presenter for Children's ITV in 1993, then stepping into production roles that would define British children's TV in the 2000s.

Ryde appeared as Tatty Bogle in the children's series Wizadora from 1994 to 1998, and starred in Your Mother Wouldn't Like It and its spin-off Palace Hill, playing Jimmy the Time Warp Kid. In 1997, he co-wrote and appeared in the short film Suckers.

His production credits include Dick and Dom in Da Bungalow (2002–2006), where he also served as commentator for the game Bogies—the show won BAFTA awards for Best Entertainment Show and Best Presenters. The Slammer (2006–2007) won a Children's BAFTA for Best Entertainment Programme in 2007, and he went on to produce The Slammer Returns, Diddy TV, Harry Batt, Chute!, The Legend of Dick & Dom, Dick and Dom's Hoopla, and Crackerjack (2020). Sam and Mark's Big Friday Wind Up (2016–2017) and Diddy Movies (2013–2014) also earned Children's BAFTA awards under his production.

As a Sagittarius with a life-path number 11, Ryde embodies the communicator archetype—a bridge between performers and audiences across multiple platforms. Actors perform live, record content, and shape entertainment culture through their work.
