Ryan Reynolds as Macro in 'The Odyssey'

The Big Picture Ryan Reynolds is an undisputed Hollywood titan. He has firmly cemented himself as a wise-cracking, badass action star, but his origins have much more humble beginnings. Yes, long before he was the Merc With a Mouth in Deadpool, Reynolds played the terrifying teenage Macro in the Canadian fantasy-adventure series The Odyssey .

Release Date August 13, 1992 Cast Illya Woloshyn , Ashleigh Aston Moore , Tony Sampson , Andrea Nemeth , Mark Hildreth Seasons 3 What Is 'The Odyssey' About? Canadians of a certain age fondly remember sitting around their collective TV post-school and tuning into the CBC to watch The Odyssey. The dark fantasy series was profoundly Canadian but unique for the network because it was a surprisingly dark show.

Who Was Macro in 'The Odyssey'? Macro, Jay's primary antagonist, tries to prevent the amnesiac hero from reaching consciousness by taking him prisoner. The series is a fantastical allegory about the fear of growing up and is one of Reynolds's earliest roles. The actor is a far cry from the megastar he would turn out to be, but his acting skills are evident as he casts a dark and foreboding shadow over Downworld.

Ryan Reynolds Brings Something Special to Every Role He Plays Close What Ryan Reynolds can do, perhaps better than any other actor, is to imbue a sense of the ridiculous with the dramatic. This blending of comedy and terror gives his characters a dynamic which makes even the bad ones likable.
