Ryan Gosling showed the rest of Hollywood how to be a decent human being last night during the Campus Progress National Conference, which hosted about 300 college activists who witnessed a four-person panel discussion on Darfur. Ryan was humble the entire time, expressing gratitude for his ability to participate:

'For some reason, there's an interest in what people who do what I do have to say,' the actor murmured. 'I don't particularly have that much to say … but I do have these experiences that I can relay. I'm honored to have these experiences.'

Gosling sounded sheepish … describing the way the children he met on a visit to refugee camps stared at him: 'Not like I was just some actor from Hollywood who was there to have an experience. They looked at me like I was somebody who could really do something. And I didn't consider myself in that way.'

It's nice to see a celebrity who actually does good deeds without advertising them on every talk show or tabloid across America. Call me, Ryan.
