Tobias Vincent Maguire, commonly known as Tobey Maguire, is a famous American film producer, as well as an actor. To most people, Tobey Maguire is perhaps best known for playing the character of Peter Parker in the “Spider Man” movies, directed by Sam Raimi. The first film in the trilogy entitled “Spider-Man” came out in 2002 to largely favorable critical reviews. The movie proved to be so popular that it managed to gross more than $100 million during its debut weekend, while it earned a total of $821 million at the box office overall. Aside from Maguire, the main cast included Willem Dafoe, Kirsten Dunst and James Franco. The popularity of the first film inspired the release of “Spider-Man 2”, which turned out to be yet another critical and commercial success. In addition to grossing more than $783 million worldwide, “Spider-Man 2” earned five Saturn Awards, and received the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects. The trilogy finished off with “Spider-Man 3”, released in 2007, which aside from Peter Parker, introduced a new character under the name of “Venom”, played by Topher Grace. Unlike the first two films, “Spider-Man 3” failed to repeat the success in terms of critical reviews and audience approval. Many critics were displeased with the lack of storyline in the movie, and the introduction of too many comic book characters. Nevertheless, “Spider-Man 3” managed to gross more than $890 million at the box office, making it the highest-grossing film in the series. Needless to say that Maguire, who played the main character of the trilogy, received a lot of public attention due to the popularity of “Spider-Man”.
