Ryan Gosling
Original "Jersey Shore" Nickname: Rhino
Replaced In The Cast By: Vinny
Reason For Replacement: While
Ryan Gosling seemed to be the complete "Jersey Shore" package: ripped, tanned, and prone to random acts of extreme violence (seriously, have you seen
Drive?), he completely failed the 'reading and writing' portion of the initial cast screening. Which is to say, he passed the exam, with aptitude scores that indicated a level of intelligence far beyond the maximum cutoff for "Jersey Shore."
