Early life and education[edit]

Reilly was born in Chicago, Illinois, the fifth of six children. His father was of Irish and Scottish descent, and his mother was of Lithuanian ancestry.[3][4][5] His father ran an industrial linen supply company.[6][7] Reilly has described himself as being mischievous during his childhood, highlighting an event when he was 12 in which he and his friends stole 500 boxes of Sugar Corn Pops from a freight train.[8]
Reilly, though he no longer claims Catholicism,[9] was raised Roman Catholic[10][11] and attended Brother Rice High School.[12][13] Reilly is an alumnus of DePaul University in Chicago.

Career[edit]

Reilly made his film debut in the Brian De Palma film Casualties of War (1989) as PFC Herbert Hatcher.[14] Although his role was written as a small one, De Palma liked Reilly's performance so much that the role was significantly expanded. In the 1990s, he appeared in several significant supporting roles, including 1992's Hoffa and 1993's What's Eating Gilbert Grape. He frequently appeared in director Paul Thomas Anderson's films, including Boogie Nights, Hard Eight and Magnolia, as well as a cameo in the video for the Fiona Applesingle "Across the Universe", which Anderson directed. In 2002, he appeared in three of the year's Academy Award for Best Picture nominees: Chicago, Gangs of New York and The Hours. For Chicago, he played Amos Hart, Roxanne's (Renée Zellweger) trusting husband and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.

Reilly appeared in Martin Scorsese's 2004 Howard Hughes biopic, The Aviator, as Noah Dietrich, Howard Hughes' (Leonardo DiCaprio) trusted business partner. Of the role Reilly said, “Noah was almost a father figure to Hughes... Howard would have a scheme, and it was Noah who had to say, ‘We don’t have the money.’ He was one of his few friends.”[15] He reportedly quit the 2005 film Manderlay to protest the on-set killing of a donkey.[16] He appeared in Adam McKay'sTalladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby in 2006, as Cal Naughton, Jr., the title character's best friend, alongside Will Ferrell. He also starred alongside Woody Harrelson, Meryl Streep, and Lindsay Lohan among others in the Robert Altman film A Prairie Home Companion.
