Ryan Gosling is one the finest actors currently working in Hollywood. The Ontario native will forever be known to many people for his iconic role as Ken in the “Barbie” movie, but for me, Gosling is at his very best when he gets a little bit more serious (which is no shade on his comedic chops — the guy is seriously funny, too).
While his roles in “Drive,” “Blade Runner 2049” and “The Notebook” get a lot of recognition, I’d argue his most overlooked performance comes in 2012’s “The Place Beyond the Pines.”
