BIO

This rugged, curly-haired, and unconventional-looking character actor has slowly worked his way up in the business, taking small parts in films while remaining committed to the theatre, where he gained extensive experience in his native Chicago. He particularly made a name for himself in Paul Thomas Anderson's three first films: Hard Eight, Boogie Nights, and Magnolia. Even though it would be unfair to say he's been typecast, Reilly has often played dim-witted, plain, and humble characters who find themselves in difficult situations. Still, his versatility is undeniable – something he proved by doing all his own singing in Chicago (2002). In later years, he has also found success voicing Ralph in the the animated Wreck-It Ralph film series.
