Gosling's acting

I have grown very fond of Gosling after seeing him in 'lars and the real girl', he has become a great inspiration acting-wise.
So I would like to know where he got the inspiration for this role, did he mimic and study the real person whom the character is based on? Or did he create all the movements from zero?
Are there any videos of the real person the character is based on so I could compare and be amazed (if that were the case).

On another note, it says that the real person was on set with them, imagine how creepy that would be!

Thanks.

I watched this movie because of him. I had just seen The Notebook. He's the real deal. And he's been around for a long time. Played another type of psychopath in Murder By Numbers. Then came the very sweet Lars, and a likeable lothario in Crazy, Stupid Love. I called the tune on Tom Cruise and Johnny Depp. Watch this guy. He'll get an Oscar role one day.

PS Do see The Notebook -- a classic.

I felt that way about Tom Hanks when everyone thought he was a dorky nerdy not good looking nobody. I sorta like them better before they become big huge stars.

He already had bunch of 'oscar worthy roles', not to mention that with exception of Lars, you pretty much listed his worst movies here.
Fact he didn't get oscar so far, has nothing to do with job he's done so far, it's to do with fact that oscars is politically motivated money making machine of no real value of any kind.

Yes, and that's my point. Those are his worst, and he's excellent in them.
