John Christopher Reilly, Jr. (born May 24, 1965) is an American film and theater actor, singer, and comedian. Debuting in Casualties of War in 1989, he is one of several actors whose careers were launched by Brian De Palma. To date, he has appeared in more than fifty films, including three separate films in 2002 that were all nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture. He has been nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Chicago and a Grammy Award for the song "Walk Hard", which he performed in Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. Reilly currently stars in Check It Out! with Dr. Steve Brule, a television show on Adult Swim.
Reilly was born in Chicago, Illinois, the fifth of six children of an Irish American father and a Lithuanian American mother. His father, John Reilly, Sr., ran an industrial linen supply company. Reilly was raised Roman Catholic and attended Brother Rice High School, a Catholic school. He is an alumnus of DePaul University in Chicago.
Reilly made his film debut in the Brian De Palma film Casualties of War (1989) as P.F.C. Herbert Hatcher. Although the role of Hatcher was written as a small one, De Palma liked Reilly's performance so much that the role was significantly expanded. Also notable in his film work throughout the 1990s was his supporting role alongside Mark Wahlberg in Paul Thomas Anderson's 1997 film Boogie Nights, in which he played the pornographic film star Reed Rothchild.

Plot: 1,000 years ago Earth was visited by an alien race from another dimension, the Grays, who used their technology to mix human and alien DNA to create a superior race, the Hybrids. The Grays, feeling they had accomplished their goals, took a group of Hybrids back to their dimension and left the rest on Earth. The Hybrids quickly turned on their creators and took over their dimension. Fearing for the humans, the Grays returned to Earth and deactivated the Hybrids, allowing them to live as part of the human race unaware of what they truly were. To prevent the Hybrids from crossing over into the human universe to reactivate the Hybrids left behind, the Grays recruit a team of human spiritual warriors to stand between the Hybrids and Earth.

Plot: A single car travels along a lonely mountain road in the mountains of northern Arizona, its headlights cutting through the thick shadows of the forest around them. Within the car are Jesse and Selene, two young lovers escaping the uncertainty of their impending graduation for a night in an effort to reconcile their struggling relationship. Their romantic evening together becomes a harrowing nightmare as they are pursued off the main highway and onto a remote trail by a truck that bears down on them even as Jesse attempts to outrun it. Just as they are about to be overtaken by the vehicle, red emergency lights are lit up from its roof, revealing that they have just attempted to escape a State Trooper. Jesse pulls over, but the police vehicle continues past them on the road at breakneck speed, disappearing around a bend up ahead. They continue on their way, only to find that the State Trooper never made it to its destination; the Trooper is pinned down in his immobilized vehicle, ambushed by a paramilitary squad of masked assailants. Jesse hits the brakes but he's too late; his car goes over the same spike strips that the Trooper's vehicle did, and Jesse's immobilized car comes to a stop across the road from the State Trooper. The assailants turn their sights on Jesse and Selene, taking her from the car and knocking her unconscious as they chase him into the forest. By the time Jesse is able to double back to the crime scene he finds that Selene has been abducted and the State Trooper has been murdered and mutilated. Jesse sees that the Officer's weapon belt has been left intact but the radio has been destroyed. Thinking only of Selene, and overcome with guilt over leaving her, he takes what he can from the Officer's body and heads into the woods after her. Before the night is over he will be forced to encounter the brutal enforcers of the mysterious cult that set the trap for the State Trooper and are holding Selene captive. She waits for him in the confines of the cult's lascivious leader, holding onto the promises that Jesse has made to her and the belief that he would never abandon her. As he is forced to go to increasingly vicious methods to be reunited with her, he loses himself in his memories of their relationship, remembering why she is so important to him that he's willing to do whatever it takes to be reunited with her, even if he must pay the ultimate price to do so . . .

Genres: ,My funny valentine
Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you’re my favorite work of art
Is your figure less than greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
But don’t change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine stay
Each day is valentine’s day
Is your figure less than greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
But don’t you change one hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine stay
