Ryan Gosling Storms Hollywood

In 2007 Ryan Gosling went idle for a few years. Putting his acting career on hold for a while he faded from our memories and remained locked in character as the romantic blondie we saw in The Notebook. But lately Gosling has proved himself by stepping up and playing with the big boys. His career has now been thrown into the blood spattered Hollywood ring along with the rest of the heart throbs. 

Ryan Gosling has grown to be the latest commodity, showing up in tabloids, on TV, and on your radio. And he has shown to have the ability to crawl into your head and shake things up a bit. It began with the 2010 emotional roller coaster, Blue Valentine. A film that came close to Oscar status, it also did Gosling a great service for his career. He showcased his talent once again in being the gentleman we all know him by, but a gentleman who's demise we watch as he slowly burns in the inferno of romance. 2011 marked a huge year for Gosling as he starred in Crazy, Stupid, Love. As a cavalier mentor on how to be a ladies man, Gosling once again showed us why he's the boss and why he is not going anywhere. The new film Drive solidified his untouchable status using black leather gloves, a hammer, and a lot of burnt rubber. Forget the pretty boy we are now experiencing a little bit of turbulence.

On October 7th we will see yet another Gosling showcase when he plays the character Stephen Myers in Ides of March. A film where Myer's partner Governor Mike Morris (Clooney) is in a tight race for presidential election. In order to pull of a victorious election things will have to get a little dirty on both sides.  Gosling will have to be the man to step up and decide what's right, and who he will support. Loyalty has been thrown out the window, and a dogmatic Gosling will turn up the heat in the white house.

With such an enormous come back over the past year i wonder where Hollywood would have been with the beloved Gosling in years before. He could have upgraded some roles in films that premiered in the years of his absence. Let's reconsider the direction of casting for film's that hit screens in 2008-2009.
