About the Artist
For over three decades, JOHN C. REILLY has remained one of the most beloved and versatile actors of his generation, effortlessly navigating comedy, drama, and musical theater with a rare blend of skill and charm. From his breakout roles in quirky comedies to more nuanced dramatic performances, he has proven himself a master of range, breathing life into a vast array of characters with both warmth and depth.
Reilly’s career began with his film debut in Casualties of War, quickly establishing him as a sought-after actor among the most acclaimed American directors. He collaborated with Paul Thomas Anderson on Hard Eight, Boogie Nights, and Magnolia, worked with Martin Scorsese on Gangs of New York and The Aviator, and joined Robert Altman for A Prairie Home Companion. He showcased his comedic mastery with two blockbuster films with Adam McKay, Step Brothers and Talladega Nights, while also blending his musical and comedic talents in Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. His versatility led to international recognition in films such as We Need to Talk About Kevin (Lynne Ramsay), Carnage (Roman Polanski), The Lobster (Yórgos Lánthimos), and The Sisters Brothers (Jacques Audiard). More recently, he reunited with Adam McKay starring in HBO Max's Winning Time, the limited series about the Los Angeles Lakers.
In 2025, the acclaimed actor will also take on a variety of compelling roles. In A Prayer for the Dying, Dara Van Dusen’s adaptation of Stewart O’Nan’s novel, set in the 1870s, Reilly plays a town doctor in a community ravaged by a deadly plague. He will also portray the legendary Buffalo Bill in Testa O Croce, a film directed by Italian filmmakers Alessio Rigo de Righi and Matteo Zoppis, and stars alongside Elizabeth Banks in DreamQuil, a cautionary tale about the impact of Artificial Intelligence and automation on everyday life.
