Ryan Dorsey Celebrates His and Naya Rivera’s Son Josey’s 10th Birthday With Sweet Message
Naya Rivera’s son is officially following in her footsteps.
The Glee alum and ex Ryan Dorsey’s son Josey Hollis Dorsey will make his big screen debut in writer-director Evan Coury‘s upcoming feature film The Burning Valley, E! News can confirm.
Ryan, 43, told E! News that Josey’s new gig makes him a “very proud dad.”
The 10-year-old—whose mom died six years ago at the age of 33—will play a role called “Boy” alongside his father, with Ryan set to play a character named Sam Pope, per the film’s IMDb page.
Evan shared that the film will focus on the period of deindustrialization.
“The movie is about a steelworker who loses his job when the mill announces a shutdown,” he told The Tribute-Review in an interview published Aug. 26. “It sets him on a journey as he wanders through his Rust Belt town.”
Evan added, “My hope is to encapsulate the history of our region through one guy’s personal experience.”
Josey’s film debut follows his appearance in a local West Virginia theater production of Seussical Jr. in 2024, KTVB reported at the time.
