One of the most popular movie stars in Hollywood, Ryan Reynolds is known for his quick wit and sarcastic edge, making him a natural in a big-budget comedy. But over the years, he’s stretched those skills into other genres, from superhero blockbusters to suspenseful dramas.
The Canadian actor parlayed his acting beginnings in TV sitcoms (Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place) and frat-boy favorites (the 2002 National Lampoon movie Van Wilder, the ‘05 black comedy Waiting) in the late 1990s and early aughts into an enduring, nearly three-decade career that has garnered him award recognition (he’s nabbed nods from the Golden Globes as well as the Critics’ Choice Association), a People's Sexiest Man Alive cover and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
