Tobey Maguire

Cast

Born

June 27, 1975 · Santa Monica, California, USA

Birth name

Tobias Vincent Maguire

Tobias Vincent Maguire was born in Santa Monica, California. His parents were 18 and 20, and not yet married when he was born. His mother, Wendy (Brown), did advertising, publicity, and acting in Hollywood for years as she coached and managed Tobey. His father, Vincent Maguire, was a cook and an occasional construction worker. Tobey did not finish high school in order to pursue and focus on acting roles, but did end up getting his GED. He acted in several commercials (he was a model dancer for Nordstrom by age six), and he had some roles on various TV shows before landing a starring role on the Fox comedy Great Scott! (1992). That role lasted nine weeks before the show was canceled, due to Fox-made series not doing particularly well in general at the time. Tobey avoids drugs and alcohol while practicing veganism and yoga. His best friend is Leonardo DiCaprio and he now has two beautiful children with his ex-wife Jennifer Meyer Maguire. Their names are Ruby Sweetheart and Otis Tobias Maguire. Another little known Easter egg is that his two half-brothers, Jopaul and Weston Epp, were the child actors who handed Tobey (Peter Parker) his mask after the train scene in Spider-Man 2.
