Good on you, John. I have loved seeing you inhabit every one of the characters you have played. Can't wait to see more. You'd be just a great best buddy, too.

"I would like people to say that I expressed empathy and showed sensitivity and showed a different way to be a man." Done. Thank you, Mr. Reilly.

He was fabulous in both Magnolia and Chicago, which are two of my favorite movies. His performance has been excellent, really, in every role I have ever seen him in--he is one of the best actors of his generation.

John C. Reilly is criminally-underrated as a actor and singer, nominations not withstanding. He always steals the show even when he is not the main protagonist.

He always finds a way to touch my heart, maybe no such as his performance in “Magnolia.”

God bless you, John C. Reilly. :) And..."Hunted down by creditors at my very fireside!" Looking forward to S&O.

This interview excerpt was too short. I would have liked to read the complete version.

Mr Reilly brought a unique vulnerability to his role of Amos Hart in Chicago - outstanding actor and genuine singer

He plays a sensitive, caring man in Ralph Breaks the Internet. So nice to see such a character, esp. in an animated film.

One of my fondest memories of my time in New York was watching “Blue Velvet” with John at a friend’s apartment, when we were both young. After the movie, we jumped up and down and hugged and laughed. We also discussed, at length, the genius of Ray Harryhausen. Thanks for the wonderful memories, John!

I"m not sure John C. Reilly remembers this but one night, when he was performing True West with Philip Hoffman in NYC, ( I saw it twice, to catch them in both roles.) the entire phone on the wall of the set crashed to the floor during an emotional scene, just as Hoffman was reaching to answer it. There was absolute silence in the audience, both actors stared a each other for what seemed like an eternity. Then Reilly said, "Hey Pal, it's not my problem." turned away and brought the house down.
