Is Ryan Reynolds one of the Most Versatile Actors in Hollywood ?
I can't think of another actor who can command two different genres (Comedy movies and action movies) so successfully
He is way better at comedy than Arnie (Twins) or Sly (Stop or my mom will shoot) have ever been
He's way better at action movies than any comedic actor

As for a movie star? His action flicks (including his role) are mostly misses (Green Lantern, Deadpool in Wolverine and Blade Trinity being the only three I can recall and they were all terrible, especially GL and BT), and he isn't particularly funny. He's decent in drama though (Buried).

Ryan Reynolds? 
Being a better comedic actor than Arnie and Sly is no feather in your cap.

For some reason I thought it was about Ryan Gosling and I was going to say "Oh yeah and he's really good doing drama too!"

I like Ryan Reynolds, but he usually chooses shit films to act in. Look at his filmography. It's a consistent line of shit.
For example:
Buying the Cow is a fucking awful film, but Reynolds stands out in a sea of shit.
Just Friends, National Lampoon's Van Wilder and Waiting... are shit, but they also happen to be guilty pleasures of mine.
Blade: Trinity looks like the retarded third child when standing next to Blade and Blade II, but Reynolds is one of the stand-out moments of the flick.
Chaos Theory and The Nines are interesting independent films that misfire, but again, Reynolds does great with the role he's given.
I enjoy the man's supporting work in Adventureland and Smokin' Aces.

However, the man (or his agent) can't pick a decent film for him to star in.

If versatile means he can pull off being the same basic character/personality in any film, regardless of genre, story, co-characters/co-stars, then yes, he is quite versatile.

No one can play a role in a fat suit and out of one, like him.
Martin Lawrence and Tyler Perry should really catch Reynold's seminars at The Actors Studio.
Plus he put it in Alanis Morrisette, so he must pack more than a jagged little pill.

If by versatile you mean playing the same character in different settings then yes, you'd be correct

I like him, but versatile isn't what I would use to describe him at all. He's pretty much the same sarcastic wise ass in everything, even Green Lantern.

Good actor...who chooses to be in shit product. THOUGH...he does have good moments in bad movies.
Wolverine: Origins- Shit movie, great casting for the character and he did damn fine for what little he had there.
Smokin' Aces- He was solid in there..story was all over the place..but he did fine.
The rest..it's eh. Granted..a few like Adventureland..I haven't seen..but most of his filmography is shit.
Buried- It's all him pretty much..and it's solid.
Blade Trinity- Shit film, he was fine.
And....that's all I got....
