"Riker
Lynch!!!
You are the best. You are my faaavorite. Thanks so so much
for being Johnny, for being a part of this project, for
being so fully present and willing to work. I will never
forget how you refused to let me leave or let the take
finish until "you got it right". You are one of the most
mature, hardworking actors I have ever met (and I've
actually met quite a few of them, especially around your
age). You brought so much life and depth to Johnny, more
than I could ever imagine. I could tell you were 100 percent
there for the project and for the role, and I know that
could only shape how successful you will be very soon. I am
so proud of you, and I am so so so so thankful you were a
part of this. I had so much fun with you--not just working
with you in creating this character, but just hanging out
with you on set. I know Brittany loved it too, and I must
say--you made the entire experience for everyone (including
the crew, who loved you so much also) wonderful. Thanks so
much, from the bottom of my heart."

This is the guy that started it all, for the Lynch kids. As the oldest of the R5 clan, Riker got the ball rolling very early, dancing and performing Michael Jackson and Grease routines when he was four years old for the adoring family members.
Soon, that turned into four younger siblings, all mimicking Riker, and R5 was born.
Now, after many years of dancing and acting in Colorado, Riker is a full time actor/dancer/musician in LA and currently has a recurring role as "Jeff" on the Fox Television hit, "Glee".
