Fun fact
His first role was on Hillside, a Canadian teen drama that aired in the US as 'Fifteen' — before Deadpool, before Free Guy, before any of it.
The verdict
Born in Vancouver to two Canadian parents — his father a former RCMP officer from Coquitlam, BC, his mother from BC as well — Ryan Reynolds got his start on the Canadian teen drama Hillside before heading south. Dual citizen, full Canadian lineage, and his first acting job was literally a Canadian TV show. Five points. No debate, bud.
