Ryan Potter is best known as Gar Logan, aka Beast Boy, in the DC Comics Universe series Titans (2018-23).
These aren't the Teen Titans from your Daddy's comics collection. The original Robin the Boy Wonder is still around, but the team also includes two oof his successors, Jason Todd and Tim Drake, as well as Connor Kent, the clone of Superman and Lex Luthor.
Plus there are gay and trans characters, although Beast Boy himself appears to be straight.
Ryan started his career in Supah Ninjas (2011-13), spelled wrong on purpose, playing a shy, quiet student who discovers that he is...um...a super Ninja. His best friend and the Girl of His Dreams join the team, tutored by his grandfather, George Takei.
More movies about shy, quiet students who learn martial arts followed, plus some Disney teencoms and a lot of animated series about martial arts.

In the various Big Hero 6 movies and tv programs (Baymax and..., Big Chibi 6, Baymax Dreams, Big Hero 6: The Series, Baymax!), Ryan plays Hiro Hamada, a teenage robotics genius who creates a snowman-like inflatable robot named Baymax. He and his friends and the Girl of His Dreams form the superhero team Big Hero 6.
One of the versions has a gay character named Mbita, and another has Brooks Wheelan as Fred, "team mascot at SFIT."

The animated Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous (2020-22) follows teens at a summer camp on Isla Nubar who get stuck when the dinosaurs take over. There are two lesbian teens among them, but Ryan's character is straight.
That's a lot of straight guys, but in his private life Ryan is a gay ally:
He was the youngest celebrity to speak out on the No H8 campaign in 2012, favoring the legalization of same-sex marriage
In 2021, he tweeted that his Titans character, Gar, was bisexual.
In 2022, he came out as bisexual himself.

He is interested in archaelogy, mythology, mysticism, and
"equitable access to clean, sustainable water, the ancient essence of all life."

In Mexico. "Constantly in awe of existence, its timing and its sense of humor."
Oh, I almost forgot: he posted a n*de video.

An after thought: Ryan's butt
