Ryan Reynolds, early in his career, established his reputation as a funny guy. Because of this, people began doubting his acting abilities, and he was often offered limited roles. When he was given a chance to prove this stereotyping wrong with the film Green Lantern, he didn’t quite succeed. However, he did not give up and managed to prove all of his critics wrong with his role in the 2010 film Buried and the 2016 film Deadpool. After this, he solidified his position as a versatile actor.
