John C. Reilly

Long before this celebrated actor and comedian rose to fame through his supporting roles in Days of Thunder and What’s Eating Gilbert Grape? John C. Reilly was self-admittedly a mischievous child. That trait would set the tone for numerous comedic roles that he would play in the coming years.

Growing up in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood, John has fond memories of the antics he and his friends used to pull off, like stealing 500 boxes of Sugar Corn Pops from a freight train, aged just 12. Just a few years later, in 1989, John landed a minor role in Casualties of War, and the rest is history.
