If you're a devotee of the Marvel movie franchise, then you won't have any trouble recognizing Sebastian Stan's pretty face when he shows up again as Bucky Barnes in Captain America: Civil War. Outside of the Captain America movies, Stan's got a résumé that makes him one of those guys you know you've seen before, even if you can't immediately remember where it was (hint: it was probably Gossip Girl). Here's a quick refresher on some of Stan's most recognizable roles.

Gossip Girl
It's likely you may remember Stan from Gossip Girl; as charming bad boy Carter Bazien, he manages to romance both Blair and Serena over the course of just 11 episodes. (Fun fact: Stan also started up an offscreen romance with Leighton Meester during his Gossip Girl days.)

Once Upon a Time
Stan was featured in six episodes of the early years of Once Upon a Time, playing the Mad Hatter who's a bit maladjusted to life in Storybrooke. (Apparently it's easy for him to find romance on set, because he and costar Jennifer Morrison also dated for a bit).

Black Swan
Don't blink or you may miss Stan's scene in Black Swan as a cute guy in a bar who tries to convince uptight Nina (Natalie Portman) to break out of her comfort zone. (Translation: he wants to do drugs and make out.)

Hot Tub Time Machine
Stan plays an '80s-tastic ski patrol bully who beats up Lou (Rob Corddry) in this silly 2010 comedy. Sadly, Stan did not return for the sequel.

Captain America: The First Avenger / Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Stan has major roles in both Captain America: The First Avenger and Captain America: The Winter Soldier (spoiler alert: he's the titular Winter Soldier). In the first film, Bucky is Steve Rogers's BFF that goes to war with him and presumably dies around the time that Captain is frozen. But — twist! — in the second film, it's revealed that Bucky's body has also been preserved in ice, though his life takes a much darker turn than Cap's.
