Marital Status: Tobey was going out with Kirsten Dunst, but they are just good friends now. So that means he's single! Yippee!!!

Hobbies: board games, basketball, yoga and backgammon

Music: Tobey loves Missy Elliot blaring from his CD player!

Career Facts: Tobey started out in the business doing the odd commercial here and there and some TV soaps. "I did one line on Blossom, a few lines on Roseanne," he remembers. "I played a dead kid on Jake and the Fatman. I think I auditioned for The Wonder Years, like 10 times." He eventually landed a starring role in a Fox sitcom, Great Scott!, but the show was canned in 1992 after nine weeks. 

Films: You can catch Tobey in his latest flick, Spider-Man, to be released in Australia, June 6th, 2002 . So for the meantime check him out in Empire Records, Pleasantville, Wonderboys and The Cider House Rules.

Spider Man: In a surprise to many Hollywood insiders, the low-key Maguire beat out Freddie Prinze Jr. and Heath Ledger for the role of Spider-Man. His critics worried that he's too much of a "minimalist" to play a high-flying action hero. He even beat Leonardo DiCaprio who was also considered for the role!

Tobes and Kirsten Dunst: Tobey went out with Kirsten Dunst (Bring It On). They are no longer going out but Tobes says they are still close friends. "I have a great bond with Kirsten. I'm friendly with her. She brings great qualities. As an actress, I find her really courageous and not self-conscious--everything she does is with no restraint. She has a great mix of comedy and keeping it real." 

Chef Tobey…What the?: He originally wanted to be a chef, but turned to acting after his mother offered him $100 to take drama rather than home economics in high school! Thank God he chose acting over cooking!
