    TORONTO --

    Rodeo FX has appointed Ryan Stasyshyn as the new head of its Toronto office and its offering of visual effects, animation and creative services. Stasyshyn has been part of the production teams for projects including WandaVision, Watchmen, John Wick: Chapter 4, The Handmaid’s Tale, 1923, and Priscilla. Throughout his career, Stasyshyn gained invaluable on-set experience serving as the head of production, head of operations, and managing director.

    “In an era where VFX companies are often bought out and focused solely on the bottom line, Rodeo FX stands apart. The company sets a high bar for talent and work, creating an environment that fosters collaboration like I’ve never seen before,” said Stasyshyn.

    “With Ryan stepping in as head, we aim to grant the Toronto studio greater autonomy, enabling it to lead its own projects while supporting our headquarters and our other studios with their global initiative,” explained Sebastien Moreau, president and founder of Rodeo FX.

    Well known in the Toronto community, Stasyshyn has worked with several of the biggest local studios including Intelligent Creature, Monsters Aliens Robots Zombie and Maverick VFX.

    The Toronto studio, which recently finished projects for Netflix, Warner Bros. and Nissan Canada, marks the fifth international location of Rodeo FX, along with Montreal, Quebec City, Los Angeles and Paris.

    "With a distinguished career in television production and business, Mark brings a unique blend of diplomatic acumen and international recognition to this important role," Trump announced Saturday.

    Burnett, who was born in London, helped produce hits like "Survivor" and "The Voice," but is perhaps best known for teaming up with Trump for "The Apprentice," which first aired on NBC in 2004.

    Trump had been well-known in real estate and pop culture circles for decades. But the show helped again make him a household name — though Trump severed ties with NBC in 2015, the same year he launched his first White House run.

    The selection of Burnett continues Trump's trend of filling out his incoming administration with people who have high-profile backgrounds in television or politics, or both — including his choice to be defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, a former co-host of "Fox & Friends Weekend," and ex-television doctor and unsuccessful Senate candidate in Pennsylvania, Mehmet Oz.

    Trump's first campaign in 2016 was rocked by allegations about his conduct on "The Apprentice" and other appearances during his association with NBC, notably in footage in which he said he could sexually assault women and get away with it because he was a "star."
