Ryan+Gosling has played a Replicant and an astronaut, so why not a Cyborg? 

RG would be fantastic in playing an updated Steve_Austin in THE 60 MILLION DOLLAR MAN. It could be a nice blend of movie making with just enough CGI. However, RG has so many other rolls to consider.

"Alpha 60 is a sentient computer system created by von Braun, which is in complete control of all of Alphaville.

Alpha 60 has outlawed free thought and individualist concepts like love, poetry, and emotion in the city, replacing them with contradictory concepts or eliminating them altogether. One of Alpha 60's dictates is that "people should not ask 'why', but only say 'because'". People who show signs of emotion are presumed to be acting illogically and are executed. There is a dictionary in every hotel room that is continuously updated when words that are deemed to evoke emotion become banned. As a result, Alphaville is an inhuman, alienated society." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphaville_(film)#Plot

Someday, Artificial pets and animals in general, might be mistaken for real ones. There could be a need to have ID & tracking tech in almost any life form to indicate whether its real or synthetic.

Thus, Artificial people or Replicants might eventually become indistinguishable from genuine humans. This would also require natural humans to be constantly verified. Managed by AI, of course.
