As a child, Matt Murdock was blinded by radioactive waste while trying to save an elderly stranger about to get hit by a truck carrying the dangerous material. In turn, his other senses were heightened to superhuman sharpness and he gained a form of "radar sense". By day, he is a successful trial lawyer; but by night, he guards Hell's Kitchen as Daredevil: the Man Without Fear.
So I have been reading the new Daredevil series and I started to notice what I can't believe I didn't notice before. Ben Affleck looks nothing like Matt Murdock! So I started thinking of actors who could pull off playing Matt Murdock with his looks, physique, and attitude and I thought maybe Ryan Gosling with dyed red hair. What do you guys think?
If he wasn't Batman; Christian Bale. But as he is Batman, Josh Hartnett (Black Hawk Down, Sin City, Bunraku)

The point was to make the new actor to look just like Matt Murdock to make us believe it is the comic book coming to life. Like Andrew Garfield actually looks like Peter Parker. Chris Hemsworth actually looks like Thor. So Christian Bale and Chris Evans, I don't think could look like Matt Murdock. Maybe Josh Hartnett if he grew out and dyed his hair. I still prefer Ryan Gosling for right now.

It's a fair point. Don't really know Ryan Gosling as an actor very well, but from what i know he'd be pretty good DD.

Also, I apologize to both you and @Duke_Nasty if I sounded like an asshole when I replied to you but yes I was trying to prove a point that I think the actor should be at least an attempt at actually looking like the character. I first got introduced to Ryan Gosling when he was in YOUNG HERCULES and REMEMBER THE TITANS. I know he is becoming more of an action star since he played in DRIVE and he can be emotional from THE NOTEBOOK. I just think that I know if we put sunglasses on him, make him grow out his hair a little, and then dye it red (it's easier with blondes rather than brunettes for dying other than natural redheads), he could definitely look like him. And as for the acting, I'm sure nobody can reject him in that case.
