Perhaps best known for his role as Peter Parker in the "Spider-Man" series, Tobey Maguire began his acting career in the early 1990s with sporadic sitcom appearances.

Although several of Hollywood's top actors were attached to the project at one time or another, Maguire's bookish charm earned him the role of the troubled super-hero.
