Ryan Reynolds X-Files videos resurface
Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds appeared in the thirteenth episode of the third season of The X-Files. In the episode titled Syzygy, Reynolds portrayed the role of Jay “Boom” DeBoom. The Marvel star’s role in the episode is small but significant.
In Syzygy, Reynolds plays a jock named Boom who gives a ride to Terri Roberts (Lisa Robin Kelly) and Margi Kleinjan (Wendy Benson). The girls tell Boom that a cult is looking for a blonde virgin for their next sacrifice.
The camera shows how the girls manipulate Boom to change the route. The next day, police discover Boom’s body hanging from a cliff. Hidden from authorities, Terri and Margi watch from above, laughing at the scene.
Fans have shared hilarious reactions to discovering Reynolds in the legendary science fiction show. Presumably, the husband of Blake Lively was around 19 or 20 years old when he filmed for The X-Files.
Speaking of young Ryan Reynolds’ surprising role in the show, a fan speculated on Reddit, “He is from Vancouver, where X-Files was filmed. I suspect that’s why he was there.” Another noted he looked unrecognizable due to his chubby cheeks.
Since his twenties, Reynolds has reached new heights, becoming one of the most sought-after Hollywood A-listers of current times. In an interview, the actor reflected on his long career and the roles that helped him reach stardom.
The Free Guy star said, “In this business, it’s probably a combination of a lot of things.” He added, “Focus, a little bit of luck, and perseverance because it can take a long time.” He also noted that his “moving to Los Angeles” might have contributed to his success. The actor said, “I was an actor for a long time in Canada.” (Source: E! News)
