As it turns out, he is also an amazing pitchman, which started after he bought a gin label called Advertising/AviationGin and decided to continue his Deadpool-like shenanigans by taking it upon himself to advertise it personally. He's done the same for Mint Mobile, after acquiring an ownership stake in that company, even getting Creator/RickMoranis out of retirement to appear in an advertisement. Other companies he promotes includes dating website Match.com and Highkey (a line of sugarless snacks).

Ryan Rodney Reynolds (born October 23, 1976) is a Canadian-American actor with dual trademarks of adept comic timing and [[HandsomeLech weirdly charming cockiness]]. His performance as the eponymous Film/VanWilder made him a big star, as well as typecast him. Later, he got to branch out in big films as [[ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} Wade Wilson/Deadpool]] in ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'' and Hal Jordan in the ''Film/GreenLantern2011'' film. He starred as Wade Wilson/Deadpool again (in TruerToTheText fashion) in the ''Film/{{Deadpool|2016}}'' [[Film/Deadpool2 movies]], which wouldn't have happened without his personal determination. He's set to continue playing the character even after the ''X-Men'' film franchise was absorbed and rebooted into the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse. In his lesser [[Film/{{Buried}} known]] [[ChaosTheory work]], he's also proven himself an exceedingly fine dramatic actor who can turn off the familiar sardonic persona. He was named one of the sexiest men alive in an issue of ''People'' magazine.

Additionally, he runs a production company called [[https://www.maximumeffort.com/aboot Maximum Effort]], through which he produces his more recent projects and campaigns, as well as the short-lived ABC game show ''Don't'', for which he also served as TheAnnouncer. Outside of acting, he and Creator/RobMcElhenney are the owners of Wrexham AFC, a Welsh football/soccer club that currently plays in England's National League, the highest level of the latter country's non-league[[note]](i.e., outside the [[UsefulNotes/EnglishPremierLeague Premier League]] and the three-level English Football League[[/note]] football.

* CanadaEh: He uses the fact that he and Wade Wilson are both Canadian to insert Canada references into the Deadpool films. Also, the homepage for Maximum Effort, his production company, features an "Aboot" page rather than the more typical "About" page.
