Happy Birthday, Ryan Reynolds!

Today we're celebrating the 35th birthday of Hollywood heartthrob, Ryan Reynolds. Ryan got his start in television in the early-1990s, but he nabbed his role in a feature film in 1993's Ordinary Magic. After dabbling in more television appearances, he landed it big with a starring role in the show "Two Guys and a Girl." His first big film performance came in 2002 when he landed the titular role in Van Wilder, and the success from that film catapulted him into a level of comedic stardom. Although he has yet to land a massive, star-making flick to put him into the entire public's consciousness, Reynolds has enjoyed his time as something of a sex symbol, nabbing top honors in People magazine's 2010 Sexiest Man Alive list. He's been romantically attached to the likes of Alanis Morissette and Scarlett Johansson in the past few years, only adding to his public presence. Still, he's a rather talented comedic actor who has shown that he has the makings of a potentially great dramatic actor as well. You'll next be able to see him in 2012's Safe House. That being said, let's once again wish Ryan Reynolds a happy 35th birthday!

Happy Birthday, Justin Long!

Today, we celebrate the birthday of Justin Long, who turns 33 today. After getting his big-screen start in the 1999 film Galaxy Quest, Long continued to grab roles in a string of comedic films. I personally believe he's more effective as a supporting character, but he has shown the ability to maintain a movie's lead position. He has a dorky persona that translates well to the silver screen, and he's played some off-beat characters in the past. Even when he's in some not-so-great movies, he tends to be the one to elicit some of the laughs. So here's my five favorite Justin Long roles - I hope you enjoy them. Once again, happy birthday Justin Long!
