That just seems like the only role Ryan Gosling ever plays - I don't think he ever has more than a page of dialog in any of the movies I've seen with him (though the love interests are always throwing themselves at him anyway).

Watch The Nice Guys (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3799694/), it is excellent.
It was an incredible comedic performance. (By his co-stars too, btw, but he carried a lot of the film, I felt.). Also an overall very funny movie.
I'm not sure exactly how much of Graham Norton is scripted, but he's had at least a couple of amazing appearances on that. (It's a bit of an edge case, but I'd argue that it qualifies as 'acting' even if only slightly so.)
EDIT: I gained a lot of respect for him -- as an actor -- after NG. I'm told comedy is one of those things that it's really hard to do well.
Thanks - definitely looks like a movie that I’d like, I’ll check it out.

You could watch Crazy, Stupid Love (very funny movie with ensemble cast), you could watch The Big Short (again, ensemble cast), you could watch The Place Beyond The Pines...
One can easily see why they picked him to play a replicant in the Blade Runner remake.
Apparently you can also pretend he's a replicant in all his other movies, and it often works out pretty well. Drive for example would make perfect sense with his character being an unwitting replicant.
