If you go with Seth to Ryan's party to celebrate his getting the part in your movie in Book 3, Chapter 5 of Red Carpet Diaries, you run into Thomas there and he says that Ryan is an old friend of his and that Ryan "more or less forced me to attend. For a 'respectable' amount of time," after you comment that you wouldn't be surprised if he only stuck around for five minutes.
