10 Comic Actors Who Excelled In Serious Roles

5. Ryan Reynolds

Reynolds-Ryan Ryan Reynolds is one of film's biggest stars right now. He is also one of my favorite actors. For superhero junkies, he is also the blunt of many jokes. That's because (so far) he has played Green Lantern in the last movie that was released (to negative reviews), he played the hero Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and he has even joked around about playing with Wonder Woman before (although for most people, I think we'd prefer he stay away from that one). That being said, Reynolds has done just about anything he can do in Hollywood, even taking a more grim role in the Amityville Horror remake, playing a stepfather that goes insane, even on the verge of killing his family. Although I'd rather see Reynolds in his light happy roles, his performance in that horror remake was one that had me scared because Reynolds with a beard going after little children is a scary sight to see. That being said, I'd take a scary Reynolds any day over a Wonder Woman casting.
