Birth date: 12.11.1980

Ryan Gosling was born on November 12, 1980 in London, Ontario to Thomas and Donna Gosling, and was the second of their two children. The Gosling family, who are Mormon, moved to Cornwall, Ontario, where Ryan grew up and was home-schooled by his mother. The family then relocated to Burlington, Ontario, where Ryan attended Lester B. Pearson High School in Burlington, Ontario. Ryan first performed as a singer at talent contests with his older sister Mandi. He attended an open audition in Montreal for the TV series "The Mickey Mouse Club" ("MMC" (1989)) in January 1993, and beat out 17,000 other aspiring actors for a a spot on the show. While appearing on "MMC" for two years, he lived with co-star Justin Timberlake's family. Though he has received no formal acting training, after "Mickey Mouse", Gosling segued into an acting career, appearing on the TV series "Young Hercules" and "Breaker High", as well as the films "The Slaughter Rule", "Murder by Numbers", and "Remember the Titans". He first attracted serious critical attention with his performance as the Jewish anti-Semite in the controversial film _ Believer, The (2001), which won the Grand Jury Prize winner at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival. He was cast in the part by writer-director Henry Bean, who believed that Gosling's strict Mormon upbringing gave him the insight to understand the character Danny, whose obsessiveness with the Judaism he was born into turns to hatred. He was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award as Best Male Lead in 2002 for the role and won the Golden Aries award from the Russian Guild of Film Critics. After appearing in the sleeper The Notebook (2004) in 2004, Gosling won the dubious honor of being named one of the "Fifty Hottest Bachelors" by People Magazine. More significantly, he was named the Male Star of Tomorrow at the 2004 Show West convention of movie exhibitors. Gosling reached the summit of his profession with his performance in _Half Nelson (2006), which garnered him an Academy Award nomination as Best Actor. In a short-time, he has established himself as one of the finest actors of his generation.
