BIO

This rugged, curly-haired and unconventional-looking character actor has slowly worked his way in the business, doing small parts in films and being faithful to theatre acting, in which he has a lot of experience from his native Chicago. He particularly made a name for himself with in Paul Thomas Anderson's three first movies: Hard Eight, Boogie Nights and Magnolia. Even though it would be unfair to say he's been typecast in movies, Reilly has traditionally played dumb-witted or plain and humble characters that often find themselves in difficult situations. But his versatility is undeniable, something he showed doing all his own singing in Chicago (2002). In later years, he has successfully voiced the animated Wreck-It Ralph film series.
