I meant Pantheon of dead actors... even harder to get a place there, as history usually forgets a lot of greats.

watch his college humor stuff.

Franco, who I also used to dislike, is actually a very cool guy and total older brother type.

maybe if all the world were hipsters yeh

already infinitely more valid choices in this thread, proud of you guys ;_;

And here i thought i was the only one :/

Will do, thanks.

And yes, he's a very cool guy. Big bugeted movies maybe are not his forté, though, because no matter how bad the movie was (that scarred Harry Osborn in Spider Man 3 was too much even for a mexican soap opera), I don't feel like he tries very hard in them. While in 127 hours an Milk he was great.

EDIT: Oh, and Flyboys... damn, that was bad!! :D

Whats not to like? :)

I'll never understand why many people seem to prefer The Great Escape over Bullitt, The Getaway, The Thomas Crown Affair, The Magnificent Seven, The Cincinnati Kid, The Sand Pebbles or even Papillon. But to each their own.

You mean : This guy was cool when being cool was still not cool and therefore COOL  unlike today where people that try to be cool usually are wannabes   :)

I've known Ryan Gosling since he was on Breaker High back in the 90s. He was by far the best character on that show.

P.S. I'm a straight guy, but I'm more than willing to admit that I have a crush on him.

If I'm gonna be turned gay it'll be for Matt Bomer, not Ryan Gosling.

But no, the coolest movie star is clearly Denzel Washington or Will Smith.
