10 Actors Who Could Fill The Ryan Gosling Vacuum

9. Tom Sturridge

The Case For: Tom Sturridge was the kid with the Beatles haircut wearing the sharp sixties clothes in The Boat That Rocked. Admittedly all he needed to do was look cool and occasionally smoke cigarettes, but man he did it well. There were high hopes for him following that role, but he hasn€™t quite found his feet yet. He had a supporting part in On The Road, and has another coming up in Effie. He has the sort of casual good looks that could kick him up to the next level. The Case Against: Sturridge is a probably a couple of solid roles short of being a real contender. If he really wants to take over from Gosling he€™ll need an indie drama and a romantic role that isn€™t Waiting For Forever at the very least. Also, his €˜casual€™ good looks occasionally give you the impression he€™s half asleep.
