Many may not realize that megastars like Ryan Reynolds had to start their careers with humble beginnings. For Reynolds, this included a role as a medical student in the 1990s sitcom "Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place." The series, which evolved into "Two Guys and a Girl" after its second season, became the platform for his breakout performance as Michael Leslie Bergen.
This ABC sitcom was pivotal for the young Canadian actor, setting the stage for his later success in film, including "Van Wilder." The show featured him alongside Richard Ruccolo as Peter Dunville and Traylor Howard as Sharon Carter. For many viewers in the 1990s, this was their first introduction to the actor who would later don the Deadpool suit.
However, "Two Guys and a Girl" was not Reynolds' debut. He had previously appeared on the Canadian teen soap opera "Hillside" (known as "Fifteen" in the U.S.) and in the 1993 film "Ordinary Magic." By the time he joined the sitcom, Reynolds had already amassed credits in "Sabrina the Teenage Witch," "The X-Files," and "The Outer Limits."
