list we’re taking a look at the many
movies Ryan Reynolds has been in and
ranking his acting charisma popularity
and so on whether he’s got guns
a-blazing he’s mysterious and sullen
funny creepy or a heartthrob if it’s an
impressive or memorable performance it
is eligible number 10 Richard Messner
this is an intense movie filled with
equally intense performances while the
cinematography and gunplay are hyper
stylized Reynolds performance brings a
certain gravitas to it shining in the
latter half of the movie we can
empathize with the pain and losses
characters feeling as well as the anger
welling up inside him trying to follow
protocol doesn’t always work out for him
and the internal battle we bear witness
to makes his problems almost as real as
our own red-eyed and always on the move
this is Reynolds like we’ve never seen
number nine Mike Connell Adventureland
every time you meet a beautiful don’t
you imagine what she’d look like
underneath you naked no no there’s just
something about Reynolds character Mike
Connell that won’t let us hate him even
if some of the stuff he says makes him
come off like a major jerk
despite his not so pure intentions he’s
got a certain charm and that is thanks
to Reynolds being able to bring a lot of
subtlety to the character whether he’s
talking himself up as a musician to
girls or giving life advice
we can’t help but shake our head at the
stories that come out of his mouth he’ll
get better
according number eight Chris Brander
just friends Ryan Reynolds in a fat suit
you know that had to make the list
transforming from an awkward teen to the
suave and successful producer that we
see for most of the movie deserves some
merit while trying to seduce his
childhood friend he has to keep the
annoying pop singer Samantha at bay he
finds himself flustered at times talking
to himself in disappointment and raging
at his current predicament but also
manages to squeeze in some romance it’s
this versatility that makes this role
one of his most memorable number seven
Matthew Matt Weston safehouse
you can come in
we’ve all been in situations that we
aren’t prepared for whether it be an
unexpected school speech a job interview
or stopping a safe house assault by
armed and highly trained individuals
okay maybe not that last one what starts
as a somewhat comical performance turns
into a serious one and Ryan gives it his
all in this film as we watch him become
a hardened killer his character is a
markedly different person by the end of
the movie and it clearly shows in his
performance well had you not begin with
Howard I am in your head they’re gonna
isolate you back number six
William Matthew will Hays definitely
maybe I am in fact the toilet paper guy
feel free to call me the bagel and
coffee guy Todd in accounting calls
McChrystal Ryan Reynolds is no stranger
to romantic comedies one that isn’t full
of physical gags and slapstick moments
is hard to come by for him though but
thankfully Definitely Maybe
is much more than that as well tells the
story of his past relationships to his
daughter we get to see how charismatic
he is with each of the women and the
chemistry he has with each of them is
also on point you can’t be a great actor
without working well with your peers and
Ryan is able to hit every beat no matter
maybe I have to think about it number
five jerry hick fang the voices so you
think I’m evil Bosko alternate playing a
unique character is one thing playing a
psychopath who thinks his pets are
actually talking to him is something
completely different
Jerry is almost as perplexed by
everything that happens to him as the
audience’s he and he can’t stop
listening to his cat telling him to kill
people as he converses with the voices
in his head the trauma he’s inflicted on
himself continuously breaks him down and
were somehow able to sympathize with
this murderer which is a testament to
Reynolds performance take the meds you
useless wanker
take them take them number four Andrew
Paxton the proposal you and I are
getting married we are getting married
character transformations if pulled off
effectively make for a good movie
and it’s up to the actors to carry that
bread convincingly throughout the film
as Bryan’s character Andrew spends more
time with his boss whom he hates they
slowly grow to appreciate one another
Andrew acts as a surrogate for the
audience as he discovers more about
Margaret’s personal life as he maintains
the charade that they’re a couple the
nuances in his performance hint at real
feelings and it’s a journey that we take
right along with him a little bit what
am i allergic to pine nuts full spectrum
of human emotion number three Vance Van
Wilder
National Lampoon’s Van Wilder he’s
checking out the battle and bag her
name’s Naomi it’s I’m on backwards Ryan
Reynolds was at his peak when it came to
playing this young and popular
heartthrob his charisma shines as his
character befriends almost everyone
around him he’s able to seduce girls
easily and help he even has people
lining up to be interviewed to be his
personal assistant why would anyone want
to leave school if it were like this his
one-liners about life always make us
laugh and his situational and comedic
timing when it comes to making sarcastic
remarks always entertain
he’s the type of guy you wanna hate but
can never bring yourself to he’s here
who’s running hell number 2 Paul Conroy
buried oh I can’t breathe please get me
out of here
good just a contractor when you’re one
of the only actors in the film and
you’ve literally got no room to move the
movie success is riding on your
performance the fact that Ryan can
maintain audience fixation on him
throughout the runtime of buried is a
testament to his on-screen presence
we’re able to relate to this man just
from knowing him in a coffin and care
about his predicament as his situation
becomes more dire we can’t help but hold
our breath with him while he’s running
out of air before we unveil our number
