Gosling & Speedman's 'Goosebumps' Reunion!

In 1996, future stars Ryan Gosling and Scott Speedman appeared together in an episode of the iconic children's series Goosebumps. The specific episode, "Say Cheese or Die," which aired on February 9, 1996, starred Gosling as a boy who discovers a future-predicting camera and Speedman in a minor role as a police officer.

Reflecting on their early careers, Speedman remembered Gosling's extraordinary comedic gifts from his days on Canadian television and "The Mickey Mouse Club." He described Gosling as exceptionally talented, particularly in comedy, before he transitioned into a leading man role.

Speedman noted that he and Gosling frequently crossed paths during auditions in Canada. He also shared that he remembered wearing dark aviator glasses for his role, which contributed to his character's slightly menacing appearance. The director of the episode, a friend of Gosling's, had invited Speedman to participate.

Both actors have since enjoyed successful careers. Speedman gained recognition on "Felicity" and starred in films like the "Underworld" series, while Gosling became a major Hollywood star with roles in "The Notebook," "La La Land," and "Barbie."

The "Say Cheese or Die" episode also featured Karen Robinson, who later starred in "Schitt's Creek." Other future notable actors who appeared on Goosebumps include Hayden Christensen and Caterina Scorsone.
