As Promised!


Ok. K. Here's the low down on our boy Ryan....

Born in 1976, in Vancouver, Canada, RYAN RODNEY REYNOLDS is 6'2".

He is the youngest of four boys (love to see the rest of them!). His father, Jim, was a Vancouver food wholesaler. His mother, Tammy, was a retail-store saleswoman. Between 1991-93, Ryan appeared in "Hillside" a Nickleodeon series taped in Florida with many other Canadian actors.


After the series ended, he returned to Vancouver where he played in a series of forgettable TV movies.

He did a few small roles but decided to give up acting.

One night, he ran into a fellow Vancouver actor who talking him into packing his bags and moving to L.A. The two stayed in a cheap LA motel. On the first night of their stay, Reynold's jeep was rolled downhill and stripped. For the next four months, Ryan drove it without doors. In 1997, he landed the role of Berg in "Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place". The show became a minor success and has led to additional film roles for Ryan, most notably in the last-ever MGM film, a remake of The Amityville Horror (2005).
He was offered the role of "Xander" in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" but turned it down!
In early 2001, he met actress Rachael Leigh Cook and the two immediately hit it off. Ryan surprised her by pulling out of his filming schedule, and following her all the way to London. It was a success and they ended up dating for a year.

Ryan was engaged to Canadian singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette, another Nickelodeon veteran, between 2004-2006.

Married fiancée Scarlett Johansson in a private Canadian ceremony on September 27, 2008.



CAREER HIGHLIGHTS - (according to me - Ryan may not agree)

The Proposal (2009)
Paper Man (2009)

There are dozens of others but you get the picture. Unfortunately no Gilmore Girls link but I'm pretty excited to see him in Sabrina the Teenage Witch!
Thanks to IMDB for the info.
Ryan has ususally played the sweet, funny guy but judging by recent photos he's got a hell of a lot more to offer!!

(I tried to get through the whole post with his clothes on - unlike Missy K who obviously couldn't control herself!)

didn't recall the rachel leigh cook connection, but no matter what she has done since, she will always be laney from 'she's all that' to me! they could have been cute together. which leads me onto my next point anyway, not so sure about the Scarlett thing. I'm hoping she is extra sweet and lovelier than I have her in my mind!

And lastly, why on earth would i use photos with his clothes on when he looks like that without them on??????
