Tobias Vincent Maguire (born June 27, 1975) is an American actor.
He began his career in the 1990s, and has since become known for his role as
Peter Parker/Spider-Man in the Spider-Man film series.
Born a stone's throw from Hollywood, Tobey Maguire began acting in commercials
as a boy and had his first film role in This Boy's Life (1994, with Leonardo
DiCaprio).
He went on to play confused and thoughtful teens in several films, including the
trouble-in-suburbia classic The Ice Storm (1997, with Christina Ricci), the dreamy
Pleasantville (1998, with Reese Witherspoon) and the literary campus comedy The
Wonder Boys (2000, with Michael Douglas).
In 2002 he had the high-swinging lead in the hit film Spider-Man, with Kirsten
Dunst as his love interest Mary Jane.
The actors reunited (along with James Franco and director Sam Raimi) for the
sequels Spider-Man 2 (2004) and Spider-Man 3 (2007).
Maguire also starred as jockey Red Pollard in the 2003 film Seabiscuit.
Maguire finished 291st out of 6538 players in the 2007 World Series of Poker in
Las Vegas. The finish earned him prize money of $39,445.
