John C. Reilly plays Mr. Fitzgerald, a vice principal who takes a high school outcast (Jacob Wysocki) under his wing in Terri. Teased by his peers with only an invalid uncle (The Office cast member Creed Bratton), Terri (Wysocki) gradually comes out of his shell, and even befriends two of his classmates (Bridger Zadina, Olivia Crocicchia).

In real life, working in the school system is probably not Reilly’s cup of tea, but in the following clip he explains why respects teachers. 

After Terri, Reilly will also be seen with Tilda Swinton in the drama We Need to Talk About Kevin and the Roman Polanski directed feature Carnage (based on the play God of Carnage).  “I just try to keep myself interested in my work and to try to keep surprising the audience and pick things that are challenging to me that I haven’t done before,” said Reilly.  “I could pick a million things.  I haven’t been a pirate.  I haven’t been a priest.  I haven’t been a boxer.  That’s the great thing about being an actor.  The possibilities are almost infinite, although I don’t see a showgirl part coming soon.  You never know, with the right kind of movie.”
