Jay Ryan has enthralled audiences with his portrayal of soldier, turned doctor, turned beast Vincent Keller on The CW’s Beauty and The Beast.

But what is it about Vincent Keller that fans worldwide have found endearing? I believe it’s because Vincent is a man of honor always determined to do what’s right, no matter what the cost. He served his country and became a doctor to continue helping people. Unfortunately, he was made into a beast by Muirfield who sought to corrupt his morals and make him a killer.

Vincent risked exposure to save the life of Detective Catherine Chandler (Kristin Kreuk) and an unforgettable love story was born.

Jay Ryan plays Vincent to perfection and compliments Kreuk’s Catherine.

So on August 29 your birthday, I want to thank you for creating a great character in Vincent Keller and giving Beauty and The Beast fans countless hours of enjoyment and a hero they can believe in. May you have continued happiness and success with your career.
