Talk:John C. Reilly

Article

If anyone wants to expand the article, this has a lot of good info [1] Mad Jack 18:39, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

I added a bunch of items from that article in my earlier edits today. NickBurns 20:14, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

I think this article ought to be expanded, now that he is a large name in the Hollywood comedy scene, I added a little bit about his Boogie Nights role, more's got to be done about his early life. I believe Will Ferrell significantly helped his career; I heard in an interview on Kimmel not so long ago. --Sauceyboy (talk) 21:52, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Resembles the Muppet Lew Zealand?

Is it just me or does John C. Reilly both look and sound a lot like the Muppet Lew Zealand? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 4.254.119.170 (talk • contribs) 13:48, 8 August 2006.

I always get him confused with Irish actor Colm Meaney aka Cheif Miles O'Brien of Star Trek:The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine. And his name gets him confused with JOhn C. McGinley of "Scrubs". Chops79 14:02, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Purple Pimp in Dr. Horrible

He was the Purple Pimp in Dr. Horrible, but this isn't mentioned here. Its in the credits. 71.60.25.94 (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 05:37, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Picture

No one could find a better photo of him? Honestly?

Is that a bit better? Ugly, but at least now you know who you're supposed to be looking at and we don't have and ad for someone's blog under it... and at least it's a free image. Stevecudmore 05:24, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Cnota, is there some reason you keep reverting my changes to the pic on this page? I understand that it's fun to have your picture somewhere where it will be seen, but a biographical article calls for a picture that is unambigiously of the person being discussed.

Fifth of 4 children?

Somebody should fix that —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.163.15.4 (talk) 07:03, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Peacock tag

The lead sentence/paragraph needs to be re-written. The lead sentence shouldn't contain "award winning" or "award nominated". Expand the opening paragraph to explain which roles garnered which nominations, and the tag can be removed. Crotchety Old Man (talk) 02:41, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, I disagree. His nominations are significant, but I don't think any of the roles he was nominated for are.Jarhed (talk) 07:30, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Really?

How could he have been born at age 43? 76.211.226.187 (talk) 19:37, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Reilly. He reilly reilly was.Jarhed (talk) 07:37, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Musician/Singer-songwriter?

Anyone think we should include 'musician' or 'singer-songwriter' or both as a secondary occupation for John C. Reilly. Not just because he was Dewey Cox in the film, soundtrack, and tour even, but also because he performed vocals for Rogue's Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs, and Chanteys. If we have a section in the article about him in music, I think we should definitley credit him as a musician and/or singer-songwriter. Not that it's something he does a whole lot, it's just an idea for a contribution. Sound good or no?--Madroxxide17 (talk) 21:10, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Did he go to Marquette Park Theater Camp?

Would be fun to know which public park Reilly attended for summer theater camp.

And it would be interesting to do a comparison of the faces of Reilly, Bill Murray, and Mayor Daley---they all have that "chicago look". Okay they're all irish, but my brother has it too, (pock marks, rounded nose, saggy features) and we're italian. The result of eating too many hot dogs? —Preceding luann comment added by 99.140.183.97 (talk) 04:52, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

John C. Reilly In "Wreck It Ralph."

       John C. Reilly appears in many kids films. The one he's most known for is "Wreck It Ralph." First we will discuss important details leading up to this movie. 

                                     John C. Reilly once said "There's something about the water- that solitary kind of peaceful feeling. Your on Earth, but not quite." He said so with good reason. He knew many folk would take off of that, and we have done so. "Wreck It Ralph" was made November, 2nd, 2012. There will be a second movie called "Ralph Breaks The internet." And now we hear from Laine Solvinski, a professional researcher. --209.6.27.212 (talk) 17:12, 14 October 2018 (UTC)Amos Zandai, sighing out.   

"Hello My name is Laine Solvinski. I'm coming to you live from New York on a world tour, I have never before talked to Mr.Reilly, for business reasons, but I hear he is a good man, and yes there will be a "Wreck It Ralph 2", just to re-assure you. Now sadly, that is all the time I have, thank you for having me, Mr.Amos." --209.6.27.212 (talk) 17:12, 14 October 2018 (UTC)Laine S.

Yes, thank you Laine. Now we have almost no time left but I can hope you go see "Ralph Breaks the Internet" and enjoy it. Thank you for your time! {{subst:unsigned2ip(209.6.27.212,17:12, 14 October 2018)}}

   Well, i feel a bit like the sober guy at New Year's Eve party, but for anyone else who found that confusing,

1. Everything between the section heading appears to be, at least technically, a single edit by one Mr. Amos Zandai (presumably a business and/or publicity agent for John C. Reilly). Perhaps he entered text reflecting (Ms.? Or perhaps Mr.) Laine Solvinski, who appears to me to be another person engaged in production and/or publicity, or an alter ego of Mr. Zandai. (Tho i've no respectable evidence, i'm inclined to doubt that either is (nor both are) simply simply serving as alter-ego to Mr. Reilly.)

Sorry, i did something that must have swallowed my sig-line!--2601:199:C202:287E:C454:809B:72AC:F6BE (talk) 03:47, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

Oops, make that a double, and I retract my claim of effective sobriety. --Jerzy•t 03:57, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

Laurel and Hardy - "Stan and Ollie" - film

Source Steve Coogan See footnote 31 - "Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly will be Laurel and Hardy in Stan & Ollie". Empire magazine. 18 January 2016. Text - "In 2018, Coogan played English comedian Stan Laurel in the film biopic Stan & Ollie, starring opposite American actor John C. Reilly who played Oliver Hardy.[31]"

• Speaking personally, I do recommend your seeing this film as both Reilly and Coogan are each quite excellent imitators of Oliver Hardy and Stan Laurel, respectively. Looking at JCR's prosthetic face, it is fascinating to glimpse the real actor, compared with one's recollections of Oliver Hardy in black and white films/movies. 49.195.136.134 (talk) 10:52, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
