Ricky Whittle (born 23 November 1981) is a British actor from Oldham, Greater Manchester.

The son of former Royal Air Force serviceman Harry Whittle, Whittle grew up travelling with his father's career around the world, with a home base at Burghfield Common near Reading, Berkshire.

A keen sportsman, Whittle represented England and the United Kingdom at youth level in football, rugby, American football and athletics.  After having been watched by Arsenal and Celtic, an injury brought about the pursuit of a degree in criminology at the University of Southampton.

At university, Whittle began modelling, becoming the face of a Reebok campaign in 2000.  This brought him to the attention of casting agents for Sky One's Dream Team.  Cast as Ryan Naysmith, Whittle left university to pursue an acting career.  Carrying on with his sports ambitions, in the third series Whittle broke his leg in seven places, and was forced into a long hospital stay.  The writers wrote a broken leg into the Dreamteam script, allowing Whittle a slower recuperation.

After playing his first gay character as a guest star on BBC One's Holby City, Whittle played Calvin Valentine in the popular Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks, up until his character was killed off after Whittle decided to leave the show in May 2010.

In January 2008, Ricky appeared on a celebrity edition of The Weakest Link, reaching the final, but losing out to Crimewatch UK star, Rav Wilding.
