Career
At the age of 12, Reynolds landed his first professional acting job. He was cast in a Canadian teen drama first called Hillside (later renamed Fifteen when it aired in the United States). The show ran from 1991 to 1993.
After Fifteen, the actor struggled to get his career off the ground. He was cast in a few small roles, including a guest spot on The X-Files. Still, he needed to take odd jobs to make ends meet after completing high school. For some time, he worked a late-night shift at a supermarket.

That role brought the actor work in a variety of genres. He starred in the Canadian heist flick Foolproof (2003) and voiced the sidekick of Leslie Nielsen's bumbling crime fighter in the Teletoon animated comedy series Zeroman (2004–05).
He made the jump to big-budget Hollywood fare with a supporting role opposite Michael Douglas and Albert Brooks in the comedy The In-Laws (2003) and co-starred with Wesley Snipes in the action movie Blade: Trinity (2004).
His status as a Hollywood star firmly established, and he starred or co-starred in the comedies Waiting (2005), Just Friends (2005), Adventureland (2009), and The Change-Up (2011).
