Ryan , 10 , a boy from Muskogee , Oklahoma , with Baptist parents claims he has been reincarnated and was an actor and agent in a past life . He claimed he was Marty Martin , who was in the Broadway film 'Night After Night ' and performed on Mae West , after seeing him in a movie still . Ryan began seeing Dr. Jim Tucker soon after , a highly respected child psychiatrist who works with children who remember past lives . Even Dr. Tucker was amazed by Ryan 's story , and found that 55 of his details match perfectly with Martin 's life . What 's more , Martin is such an obscure actor that there were no articles of pieces about him at all , and it took a film archivist to even learn his name . Ryan also knew the year Martin was born , even though it was listed incorrectly on his public death certificate .
