Ryan Gosling is one of today's actors that I most respect and he's named one of the most serious and talented actors of his generation. He has already starred alongside names like Denzel Washington, David Morse, Sandra Bullock, Don Cheadle, Rachel McAdams, Ewan McGregor, Naomi Watts, Anthony Hopkins, Emily Mortimer, Paul Schneider, Patricia Clarkson, Frank Langella, Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams. Gosling received his Academy Award nomination in the Best Actor category for his great performance as Nelson in the indie drama Half Nelson, for which one he received a SAG nomination. His performance in Lars and the Real Girl gave him a Golden Globe nod in the Best Actor in a Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical category and another SAG Award nomination.
His filmography include a lot of critically praised performances in some acclaimed movies such as The Believer (2001), The Slaughter Rule (2002), The Notebook (2004), Half Nelson (2006), Lars and the Real Girl (2007), Fracture (2007) and Blue Valentine (2010).

Ryan Gosling will be seen on screen again in the end of the year with All Good Things. His upcoming projects include the comedy Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011), the action-drama Drive (2011) and, this week, he was confirmed to star in the political drama named Ides of March, directed and written by George Clooney. He's currently named one of Courtney Love's choices to play Kurt Cobain in a biopic about the Grunge icon and the rumours wasn't denyed by both Love and Gosling.
