Tobey Vincent Maguire nació el 27 de Junio de 1975 en Santa Monica, California, USA. Su nombre de nacimiento es Tobias Vincent Maguire. Nació cuando sus padres tan sólo tenían 18 y 20 años. Su padre se llama Vincent Maguire y es cocinero y en ocaciones constructor. Su madre se llama Wendy Brown y es secretaria y en ocaciones guionista. Sin embargo, ellos se separaron cuando Tobey tenía sólo dos años de edad. Ésto, hizo que Tobey se tuviera que mudar constantemente con su madre de estado en estado habiendo pasado tiempo en California, Oregon y Washington. Terminó el colegio en el noveno grado ya que su madre le ofreció $100 para tomar clases de teatro, a causa de las dificultades económicas que estaban viviendo. A partir de aquí, Tobey hizo varios comerciales, incluyendo uno de Doritos y de McDonald's. Luego se presentó en varios castings para series y algunas películas entre las que se encontraba "Parenthood" en cuyo set lo conoció a Leonardo DiCaprio, comenzando así una gran amistad (ver Filmografía para más series y películas). A Tobey se lo ha relacionado también y se lo ha visto en salidas y fiestas con demás amigos como Kevin Connolly y Lukas Haas, y se lo ha relacionado afectuosamente con Sarah Gilbert, Rashida Jones, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Love Hewitt y Nicole Richie. Aunque Tobey ya NO consume drogas ni bebe en exceso, en varias oportunidades reconoció haber tenido que asistir a reuniones de Alcohólicos Anónimos. Actualmente, practica yoga, es vegetariano desde los 17 años y ama el basketball, el ajedrez y el backgamon. Esta comprometido y en relación con Jennifer Meyer, hija del dueño de Universal Studios desde el 2003 y el 10 de Noviembre del 2006 tuvieron su primer hija llamada Ruby Sweetheart Maguire.

"Every actor has to establish a presence that not only fits the overall needs of the story but allows him to interact with other actors in a credible and meaningful way. Every actor wants to work under conditions and with material that enables them to create and use their craft."
"I am a blank slate - therefore I can create anything I want."
"I believe in a higher force that is within me."
"I didn't read comics, didn't watch them on television. I was aware of the characters, probably ran around and pretended I was them."
"I have no illusions at all about being a sex symbol. None of my former girlfriends ever thought of me that way, and I don't have any packs of women chasing me down the street like a Brad Pitt or someone like that."
"I just try to try to keep an attitude that I don't know what I'm doing. Not to the point where I'm beating myself up, but I just go in thinking that I have a lot to learn. And I hope I still have that attitude 30 years from now."
"I might have some character traits that some might see as innocence or naive. That's because I discovered peace and happiness in my soul. And with this knowledge, I also see the beauty of human life."
"I started working around eigth grade. I remember doing a Doritos commercial where there were four days in a row of eating them, and I will tell you, I have not eaten many Doritos since."
"I think the greatest way to learn is to learn by someone's example."
"I'll go do films for three or four months and then I can't wait to go home to LA. And I complain about LA left and right, but then I always end up wanting to go home, you know? "
"I'm going to try to stay buff as long as I can, but it takes a lot of discipline and staying away from your favorite junk food!" "I'm so critical of my own work that it's difficult for me to disassociate myself and watch it as an audience."
"I've been curious about certain things, but didn't let them get in the way of my life. I don't know how people becoem successful with some kind of habit."
"If I wanted to go be social I would. I don't have any fear of that. I don't feel like I'm a shy person at all. "
"If I'm in a social situation sometimes I'll hang back and observe people but I feel very much a part of things most of the time and feel very comfortable socializing and have for most of my life."
"If you're sitting in the audience, you probably can't see the preparation and work that goes into creating a great scene or a great part, but I can assure you that a good film depends on lot of different things falling perfectly into place."
"People, photographers, people in the press can sometimes be inappropriate."
"The most attention I get is in a book store or video shop when I go to the foreign film section. Sometimes that can be fun, but usually those women want to talk about philosophy or something very dense. It's not like they're tearing off my shirt, you know."
"There's so many things I want to do. I want to work with great filmmakers, great actors, great scripts. And there's no reason for me to do anything short of that, because I'm 24, I don't have a family, I don't need to make tons of money, and I'm not dying to get famous. "
"To me, the whole idea of fame and I think it can be a real test of somebody, of who they are. You know, 'cause some strange things happen. I've seen some peculiar things as far as a person just living their life"
"You live for those really great scenes where you almost feel that the film has gone beyond what was printed on the script pages and been raised to another level."
