Ryan Thomas Gosling is a Canadian actor, who began his Disney career by playing one of the Mouseketeers (alongside Justin Timberlake) in The Mickey Mouse Club. He also portrayed Alan Bosley in the 2000 sports drama film Remember the Titans, Bret McNulty in Road to Avonlea, and Scott Stuckey in Flash Forward. Additionally, he was mentioned in the K.C. Undercover episode "The Get Along Vault", the Liv and Maddie episode "Howl-a-Rooney", and the Austin & Ally episode "Track & Troubles".
Gosling was born on November 12, 1980 in London, Ontario, but moved around a lot due to his father's work. His parents divorced when he was 13, and he and his older sister Mandi lived with their mother. Being inexperienced, Gosling was often credited with programming him "to think like a girl". Despite attending public school, he was homeschooled for a year and found self-confidence in performing.
At age 13, Gosling became a cast member of The All-New Mickey Mouse Club, which gained him recognition and other television opportunities, including Goosebumps, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Breaker High, and Young Hercules.
Deciding to take up "serious acting", Gosling was cast as a Jewish neo-Nazi in The Believer, which led roles in films, such as Murder by Numbers, The Slaughter Rule, The United States of Leland, The Notebook, Half Nelson, Lars and the Real Girl, Blue Valentine, Crazy, Stupid, Love, The Ides of March, The Big Short, Drive, La La Land, Blade Runner 2049, First Man, and Barbie.
In addition to acting, he made his directorial debut in 2014's Lost River.
