Full John C. Reilly Biography
John Christopher Reilly (born May 24, 1965) is an Academy Award-nominated American actor known for his ability to act in a dramatic or comedic role with ease.
Reilly made his film debut in the Brian De Palma film Casualties of War (1989) as Herbert Hatcher. Although the role of Hatcher was a small one, De Palma had such a positive response to Reilly's performance that the role was significantly expanded.
Reilly has consistently appeared in film since his debut; he has appeared in an estimated 40 roles in the last 20 years, mostly supporting roles.
Among his most notable roles:
- Reed Rothchild, Dirk Diggler's co-worker and sidekick in Boogie Nights
- Gus Siniski, Detroit Tigers catcher in For Love Of The Game
- Jim Kurring, a lonely, divorced and religious by-the-book cop who ends up involved with a drug addicted woman in Magnolia
- House painter Phil Last, a "stoner" with an unhappy marriage, in The Good Girl
- Lefty, the singing cowboy, in A Prairie Home Companion
- Cal Naughton, Jr., the dimwitted race car driver and best friend of Ricky Bobby in Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
- Noah Dietrich, in The Aviator
- Dr. Steve Brule, the local news correspondent on Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!
- Dewey Cox, a Johnny Cash type singer in Walk Hard
- Amos Hart in Chicago
In the past six years, he has been a friend of Tenacious D, appearing as "Sasquatch" on 6-episode late-nineties HBO television show, the 2001 album, and in the feature-length 2006 motion picture.
His profile as a film actor was significantly raised in 2002 when he appeared in three of the year's Academy Award for Best Picture nominees - Chicago, Gangs of New York and The Hours. He received a nomination for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance as Renée Zellweger's trusting husband in the musical Chicago.
Mr. Reilly is also a singer, performing on two tracks of the 2006 compilation Rogue's Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs, and Chanteys: Fathom the Bowl and My Son John. |
