Gosling donned a baker boy hat for his one-off appearance in this period drama series, set in the fictional title town in the early 20th century. The Canadian show ran for seven seasons and featured a few big-name guests, including Faye Dunaway and Christopher Reeve.

Gosling didn't have a huge amount to do, but given limited screen time he showed off his boyish charms to the full.

Trademark intensity? There was no chance to exude it here.
