The cast of The Gray Man

Ryan Gosling as Court Gentry

Ryan Gosling is a name that needs no introduction. From featuring in independent films to blockbusters, Gosling is one of the most successful actors today. He is the recipient of several accolades, including a Golden Globe Award, and nominations for two Academy Awards and a BAFTA Award.

In The Gray Man, Gosling plays the titular character, who is also known as Courtland "Court" Gentry and by his codename Sierra Six. He is a skilled CIA mercenary, recruited by his handler to the Sierra team. His service won him a good reputation, and he became a notable asset to the agency, until one day he stumbles across some government secrets. Now he is on the run, with the government determined to have him eliminated, and his former colleague, Lloyd Hansen, seems to be out for his blood.


Chris Evans as Lloyd Hansen

Chris Evans, another notable face in Hollywood, will also star in the upcoming Netflix blockbuster.
