Early life

Gosling won the Best Actor category at the Spirit Awards (formerly known as the Independent Spirit Awards) for his role as a drug-addicted, junior high school history teacher in the 2006 film Half Nelson. For the same role, he was nominated for an Academy Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award, and a Broadcast Film Critics Association award as best actor.[6]

In 2010, Ryan Gosling signed on to narrate Phillip Montgomery’s REGENERATION, a new documentary that explores the widespread cynicism in today’s youth and young adults, and the influences that perpetuate our culture’s apathetic view towards social and political causes. Gosling also produced the documentary along with Anonymous Content’s Matt DeRoss and Engine 7 Films’ Joel Goulder and Jeremy Goulder. Montgomery said,“It is an honor to work with one of the most talented and intelligent artists of our generation. As a socially conscious individual himself, Ryan brings an inspired freshness to the films core message of hope and action. There is truly no better voice to guide us through this film.”[25]
Ryan Gosling will be co-staring in Crazy, Stupid, Love with Steve Carell, Kevin Bacon, Emma Stone, Marisa Tomei, Analeigh Tipton and Josh Groban. The film is being distributed by Warner Brothers[26] and is set for theatrical release on April 22, 2011.[27]

Academy Award@ nominee Hossein Amini adapted the script from the James Sallis’ novel of the same name...Producer Marc Platt adds, “Ryan possesses an innate talent that is yet to be fully tapped and Drive is the perfect marriage of material to actor—the script brings him into a whole new arena that’s really thrilling.[28]
