Ryan Estrada: Hello. My name is Ryan Estrada. My first name rhymes with cryin', because that's how I feel when people get my name wrong, and they do a lot. See, when I was born, there was a very famous TV actor named Eric Estrada, and whoever was filling out my birth certificate at the hospital got confused and put Eric Estrada on my birth certificate. Luckily, my mom noticed before she signed it, and fixed it to make it say "Ryan."
But after that, I guess the universe just decided my name was Eric and every single teacher, every babysitter, always called me Eric. I thought it was because of the TV character, but then even when I started traveling the world .... I went to India and people who had never even heard of this actor started calling me Eric. So the universe may think that's my name, but it's actually Ryan Estrada. Thank you.
