Ryan Reynolds by far would be a good pick. I think stearing clear of Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg, and Ed Norton as they have had several action movies. RJ is a new character on the silver screen, and he should be someone with some notoriety, but with no links to any major action character. So here are a few for consideration:
Justin Chambers:
The best part that he has played in my opinion was D'Artagnan in "The Musketeer". He is well known for his part of Alex Karev on Grey's, and is a very versatile actor. Check out his bio on IMDB
Cole Hauser:

Not known very well amongst movie goers, he has had great parts in movies such as "Dazed and Confused, Pitch Black, Tears of the Sun, and 2 Fast 2 Furious". His best role as lead character came in "Paparazzi".
Johnny Knoxville:
I may get alot of flack for this one, but hear me out...lol
Although he has been primarily in supporting roles, he has the ability to fit any part, given the opportunity. I know alot of people are not fans of the Jackass movies, but this shows at what lengths he will go to make a movie. I thought his roles in Walking Tall and The Dukes were great and showed alot of depth to his ability. He more likely would be inclined to do most of his stunts (as crazy as he is) and in my opinion his look fits the RJ character.
For now, those are the RJ picks. I will be back later for my input on Gia and others.
