SEBASTIAN WILDER

(Actor : Ryan Gosling)

A pianist for hire when we meet him at first in the movie.

He dreams of owning his own jazz club. So dedicated is he to the idea, he hasn’t even unpacked the boxes in his house, saying he will when he has a club to unpack them in.

 

He is not interested in going on dates or meeting with anyone although his sister’s best efforts to introduce him to someone and stop him from living like a hermit.

And then he meets Mia. Determined that her talent will be recognized, he encourages her to write a play for herself and drives her to the audition that launches her career.
Meanwhile, he veers off course as a pianist in the band The Messengers.

By the end of the film he’s realized his dreams and is running a jazz club called Seb’s.
