Born May 24, 1965, in Chicago, John C. Reilly has been acting since the age of 8. A former member of the city's Steppenwolf Theatre Company, he broke into films with Brian De Palma's Casualties of War (1989).Throughout the 1990s, Reilly's popularity grew rapidly with a series of hefty supporting parts, including a role in What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993). But it was his work in Paul Thomas Anderson's Hard Eight (1996) that helped Reilly make the transition to leading actor. He and Anderson continued their successful partnership in Boogie Nights (1997) and Magnolia (1999).
In 2002, Reilly appeared in four high-profile films: The Good Girl, The Hours, Gangs of New York and Chicago, which earned him a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination. Reilly continues to balance leading roles, such as his part in Criminal (2004), with memorable supporting roles in films such as The Aviator (2004).
