Ryan Gosling AKA Ryan Thomas Gosling Born: 12-Nov-1980 Birthplace: London, Ontario, Canada
Gender: Male Religion: Mormon Race or Ethnicity: White Sexual orientation: Straight Occupation: Actor Nationality: Canada Executive summary: Murder by Numbers As a scrawny young boy, he was yanked out of school by his parents and homeschooled after being repeatedly harassed by classmates. When he returned to school as an older boy, several of his teachers, according to Gosling, incorrectly mistook his natural squint for evidence he was a pot-head. Ryan was 12 and could not sing or dance when he auditioned successfully for MMC, Disney's late-80s revamping of The Mickey Mouse Club. While working for Disney, he also made Frankenstein and Me, a kiddy-fied horror film for TV starring Burt Reynolds. Gosling then had a short-lived UPN comedy called Breaker High, and played the titular Young Hercules in an adolescent version of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys.
His first notable movie role was as a neo-Nazi skinhead who reads the Torah and teaches Hebrew in The Believer. Other than that, Gosling is best known for a year-and-a-half fling with Sandra Bullock, 16 years his senior, whom he met when they made Murder by Numbers. Gosling is an animal rights activist, and once wrote a letter to Kentucky Fried Chicken headquarters, protesting their inhumane treatment of chickens.
