Born on June 27,1975,Tobey Vincent Maguire was always the quiet.Throughout his childhood,constant moving around always exposed him to new people and new situations.
His mother and his father split within two years of his birth,and Tobey was ping-ponged between them.The pressures of teenage hood were so great for Tobey that he had to gather up courage just to go out into the world each day.Because of his stressed nerves,he couldn’t take it anymore,and in ninth grade he dropped out of school1.
Tobey wanted to be a chef(廚師),but his mother,who had once dreamed of starring herself, gave him$100 to take drama classes instead.There was no turning back.He got a major role in the 1992 FOX sitcom Great Scott,but the series lasted no more than five weeks.
After appearances in several forgetful movies,Tobey finally got a promising role in 1995’s Empire Records.But during production,Tobey met some emotional difficulties.He asked director Allan Moyle to excuse him from the movie,and stopped auditioning(試音)for months.His scenes were deleted(刪除)from Empire Records as a result.
There are precious few who can leave Hollywood and come back where they left off.But Tobey did just that.His performance in 1996’s Oscar-nominated short film Duke of Groove caught the attention of a number of Hollywood filmmakers.In 1997,director Ang Lee cast Tobey in The Ice Storm,a project that would prove to his first test of stardom.
Tobey insists that he doesn’t care for fame,but he knew that however talented an actor he was.studio heads still wanted to see results in numbers.So Tobey decided to put on the mask for the 2002 hit,Spider-Man.The success of the film-threw Tobey into the Hollywood A-list.
