{{quote|''He doesn't care if a movie is "art," or possibly even if a script is good. It doesn't matter, because he'll make it good. He'll make it relatable and engaging and meaningful.

In his [[The Nines|lesser]] [[Buried|known]] [[Chaos Theory|work]], he's also proven himself an exceedingly fine dramatic actor who can turn off the familiar sardonic persona.

* [[Alliterative Name]]: Ryan Rodney Reynolds.
* [[Canada, Eh?]]: Usually averted (see "Fake American" below), but he lets it show on occasion such as in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cY4p9NzaCF4 this public health video] made during the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: If he isn't saying something sarcastic and witty, its a pretty good sign that shit just got real.
* [[Estrogen Brigade Bait]]
* [[Fake American]]: Almost every role he plays is this. Most people don't realize he's
* [[Handsome Lech]]
* [[The Irish Diaspora]]: Reynolds is an Irish name.
* [[Mean Character, Nice Actor]]: While it might be stretching a point to call Deadpool simply "mean", Ryan Reynolds is definitely nice - in 2020, he started the [https://www.groupeffortinitiative.com/ Group Effort Initiative] to get more non-whites onto movie sets, and [https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/ryan-reynolds-canada-goose-donate-parkas-arctic-bay-nunavut-1.5793649 made a sizable donation of cold-weather clothing] to a school that needed it, paying for both out of his own pocket.
* [[One of Us]]: Reynolds is a big fan of Deadpool. He also auditioned for every comic book character that existed until he finally landed a role (and luck behold, he's now the iconic Hal Jordan/Green Lantern).
* [[Playing Against Type]]: Quite a few of his roles, such as ''Buried'' and ''The Amityville Horror''. He can be pretty damn scary when he wants to be.
* [[Promoted Fanboy]]: Subverted, he wasn't into comics until relatively recently, in which case he became a fanboy, roughly the same time he actually started playing comic book characters. In fact the only reason he became a fan of Deadpool is after being compared to him by Deadpool himself.
* [[Written by Cast Member]]: He co-wrote ''Deadpool 2''.
