EW / Why I'm Obsessed with Ryan Reynolds, By Ryan Reynolds
I am pretty sure (even if I haven't seen the movie) that Ryan Reynolds' interview/autobiography in Entertainment Weekly is more entertaining than The Green Lantern (who barely made it to the 24% on Rotten Tomatoes ... and knowing that the tragic Super 8 that I absolutely hated got 83% I don't even want to imagine how bad Green Lanter is ... or it's just me who do not like what people like and vice versa :-)
"We looked high and low to find just the right writer to pen our cover story on Ryan Reynolds. We needed someone who could match the actor’s sparkling wit, winning charisma, and staggering intelligence, not to mention his deep humility, inspiring humanitarianism, and perfect washboard abs. So we hired Ryan Reynolds" EW
"After moving to Los Angeles at the tender age of 19, armed with only $600 and a rape whistle, he quickly established himself as one of Hollywood’s most dynamic and immensely talented waiters. Eventually Lady Luck gave him a wink and he broke into the business by scoring a lead role in a sitcom titled Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place. Although the series was canceled 10 years ago, Reynolds still holds out hope they’ll change the title to something less stupid. Eventually he moved on to a career in feature films, including the one-woman show National Lampoon’s Van Wilder, which, surprisingly, garnered Reynolds absolutely no significant award nominations. Clawing his way out of a typecasting hole, he managed to secure a wider variety of parts . . . later enjoyed by an audience of hundreds."
