Tobey Maguire is an American actor who is best known for his role as Spider-Man in the Spider-Man film trinity. He has also tried his hand at production for a few movies and is, without doubt, one of the most recognized faces in Hollywood. Maguire was trained in a drama school at the insistence of his mother when he was a child and from then on he always wanted to be an actor. He initially started off an actor on television but gradually got enough chances to showcase his skills as an actor in films and he primarily played teenaged characters in the early part of his career.
Maguire also suffered from alcohol abuse at a critical juncture in his career that saw him pull out of a film in which he was to play the lead role but after his return to acting he was welcomed back by filmmakers and in 2000 he got his biggest break with the release of the first Spider-Man film. Following the success of Spider-Man; Maguire starred in the two sequels as well which were equally successful and also featured in plenty of films that got him critical appreciation from critics and the audiences alike.
