2 | Born and raised in Buffalo, New York. |
3 | Was cast in the film Savages by Oliver Stone to play a character named Seven who was Uma Thurman's husband but the film had to be cut due to length so they eliminated the storyline with Uma and thus his scenes. |
4 | His name appears on the Bally's marquee in the film Honeymoon in Vegas starring James Caan, Nicolas Cage and Sarah Jessica Parker. He was the comic opening the show for headliner Jeff Dunham. |
5 | Was a competitive body builder while living in Seattle. Competing in the 1998 Weider Washington NPC and getting 4th. In 2001 he competed in the same show for men over 40 and and won 1st place. That show earned him a second place finish in 2002. He also got a 2nd place in the 2001 NPC Max Muscle Washington State Championships and a 2nd place in the same competition in 2003. His last show was the 2003 Emerald Cup in Seattle where the men over 40 category had 20 contestants both natural and not natural. He got 11th place. In 2005 he tore a calf muscle jumping out of a sand trap while playing golf on a very cold Seattle day and that was it. |
6 | When The Fugitive with Tim Daly was filming in Seattle, director James Frawley hired him to play a sheriff. During the shoot, Frawley asked him if he worked in Los Angeles at all. Frawley went on to say he thought Riedy would be very busy if he did. A couple of years later after much ruminating, Riedy did make the move and has been pretty busy since. He ran into Frawley when the director was casting Grey's Anatomy in the same office where Riedy was auditioning for Private Practice. They caught up, Riedy thanked him for the inspiration and they parted ways. The very next week Riedy walked into a room to audition for Dirty Sexy Money and there was Frawley in the director's chair. He gave Riedy the job. |
7 | Director Todd Phillips gave Riedy a job in a web series for Mini Cooper cars that also starred Bryan Callen. Riedy was the bad guy who went by Silverfox. Big Time Rush creator Scott Fellows saw Riedy in the video series and gave him the part of Griffin on Big Time Rush. |
8 | Is a frequent guest cast member for Jimmy Kimmell Live. |
9 | Once got to play in the LAPD Celebrity Golf Tournament when Ron Pearlman had to drop out. A few years later while working on Sons of Anarchy he thanked Pearlman for having to drop out and for giving him the opportunity to play. Pearlman said "How'd you finish?" Riedy said, he got 2nd place...Pearlman's response was..."I would have won!". |
