'''Ryan Reynolds''' is a Canadian actor who is most recognizable as the eponymous [[Van Wilder]], the role which cemented his dual trademarks of adept comic timing and [[Handsome Lech|weirdly charming cockiness]], made him a big star and almost fatally typecast him. More recently, he got to branch out a bit in big films as [[Deadpool|Wade Wilson/Deadpool]] in ''[[X-Men (film)|X-Men Origins: Wolverine]]'' and Hal Jordan in the ''[[Green Lantern (film)|Green Lantern]]'' film. Unfortunately, neither role did his career much good. Fortunately, his 2016 recreation of Deadpool in the [[Deadpool (film)|film of the same name]] more than made up for them -- and in [[Deadpool 2|its 2018 sequel]] he let everyone know what he thought of them.
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.
Line 37:
* [[Handsome Lech]]
* [[The Irish Diaspora]]: Reynolds is an Irish name.
* [[Mean Character, Nice Actor]]: while it might be stretching a point to call Deadpool "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.
