Ryan Rodney Reynolds, born October 23, 1976, in Vancouver, Canada, is a celebrated actor, producer, and entrepreneur renowned for his quick wit, charm, and versatility. Raised in a working-class family, Reynolds is the youngest of four brothers. His father, Jim, was a food wholesaler, and his mother, Tammy, worked in retail. Reynolds first explored acting at age 12 when he starred in the Canadian teen soap opera Hillside, also known as Fifteen in the U.S., which aired on Nickelodeon.
While he continued acting throughout his teen years, he initially struggled to transition from child roles to adult ones and briefly considered giving up on acting. However, a move to Los Angeles revitalized his career. Reynolds’ breakthrough came in the early 2000s with the sitcom Two Guys and a Girl (1998-2001), where his comedic timing gained attention. He soon leaped film, starring in a range of comedies including Van Wilder: Party Liaison (2002) and The Proposal (2009), where his comedic style became a signature, marked by self-deprecating humor and an ability to blend comedy with heart.
His turn in action roles, like Blade: Trinity (2004) and Smokin’ Aces (2006), showed his range, but it was his portrayal of Wade Wilson, or Deadpool, in X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) that left him determined to bring the character back in a more authentic way. After years of advocacy and creative involvement, he starred in and co-produced Deadpool (2016), a film that became a massive hit for its irreverent humor, R-rated content, and fourth-wall-breaking style. Its success led to Deadpool 2 (2018) and solidified Reynolds’ place as one of Hollywood’s top comedic action stars.
