Reilly Uses Acting 'Power' for Good

Actor John C. Reilly suspects he could use his craft for good or evil. "As an actor, there are plenty of opportunities to con people once you develop the talent," Reilly, 39, told the San Francisco Chronicle on Sunday. "So I've always viewed using my talent, or whatever you call it, in that way as flirting with the dark side of things. I've always resisted the impulse to take advantage of people."

Reilly, whose credits include "The Perfect Storm" and "Boogie Nights," got to do a lot of thinking about the distinction between acting and lying in his latest movie, "Criminal." He plays a con man.

"He thinks the laws of civilization don't apply," Reilly says of his character Richard Gaddis, a fast-talking, small-time schemer. "So it was a lot of fun to play someone like that for 12 hours a day, and then you go take your costume off and get in your car and you have to remember, 'No, you better start following the law now.'"

In December, in Martin Scorsese's "The Aviator" he'll star with Leonardo DiCaprio, with whom he worked in "Gangs of New York" and "What's Eating Gilbert Grape."

"Everyman" is a term that's often applied to Reilly, and he embraces it. "I'm from Chicago, from a very humble and working-class neighborhood," he says. "Those are my people. So if I have an everyman quality, I'm really proud of it. I am an everyman."
"Don't think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it's good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art." - Andy Warhol

I saw the Aviator trailer and Reilly's face on the big screen just made me laugh out loud for some reason.

Why??

Why does Reilly have such cinematic power just in his face alone?!  :shock:

No, it is his cinematic power. I think also his face reminds of all of his roles in other films -- or shit like his dancing in Boogie Nights or his "i know three types of karate" thing.

I don't know. he's just funny. i think...?

meatball

I wouldn't mind having a face like his.

Reilly will be on Leno tonight (12/8).

I'll be in New York City from 5/27 - 6/1 to catch a Red Sox/Yankees series and just bought tickets to see "Streetcar Named Desire" with John C. Reilly and Natasha Richardson. Thought anyone in the area might like to know about the show. Love the film and it'll be the first stage production that I've seen Reilly in.

From the Roundabout:

Set against the steamy backdrop of New Orleans' gritty French Quarter, A Streetcar Named Desire is the dramatic story of Blanche Du Bois, a faded Southern belle driven to madness by her animalistic brother-in-law, Stanley Kowalski.

Natasha Richardson (Blanche Du Bois) returns to Roundabout Theatre Company having received a 1993 Tony nomination for Best Actress in a Play for her performance as "Anna Christopherson" in the Tony Award-winning Anna Christie and a 1998 Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical for her performance as "Sally Bowles" in the Tony-winning revival of Cabaret.

John C. Reilly (Stanley Kowalski) returns to Broadway after last appearing in the critically-lauded production of True West (Tony nomination). His film work includes Chicago, The Perfect Storm, Magnolia, Boogie Nights, Hard Eight, The Thin Red Line and What's Eating Gilbert Grape?
