— Ryan
|
Ryan, otherwise known as the I Like Trains Kid, and sometimes erroneously called Edd, first appeared in Asdfmovie2. Whenever he says "I like trains", either someone nearby or himself gets hit by a train. He was voiced by the late Edward Duncan Ernest "Edd" Gould and archived audio has been used since Edd's passing in 2012 from an infection caused by his acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.[1] His latest appearance was in Asdfmovie12, although, in anime form during the intro, he does not appear in the rest of the video, mostly due to the voice actor of Ryan's death, as well as in Fansdfmovie as his first physical appearance in the I Like Trains gag since asdfmovie3.
