Biographie
Reilly Walters is an American actor from Wake Forest, North Carolina. Born to Jennifer and Thomas Walters, he is the oldest of three boys. Growing up in the suburbs, Reilly spent his childhood creating adventures with neighborhood friends and exercising the imagination that would later fuel his craft.
His passion for acting began during his sophomore year at Cardinal Gibbons High School in Raleigh, when a friend, Jack Sabye, convinced him to audition for the school play A Few Good Men. Cast as Capt. Jack Ross, Reilly experienced the transformative pull of storytelling on stage-a spark that would grow into a lifelong pursuit.
In 2017, Reilly moved to New York City to attend Pace University, where he trained in the BFA Acting for Film, Television, Voiceovers, and Commercials program. After graduating in 2021, he transitioned seamlessly into professional work, quickly booking roles across television and film.
Reilly's on-screen debut came with a recurring co-star role in Starz's Three Women, based on Lisa Taddeo's acclaimed novel. He went on to guest star in Fox's reboot of Fantasy Island and gained notable recognition for his chilling performance as sociopathic kidnapper Seth Piper on Law & Order: SVU. In film, he portrayed Ryan, a heartbroken yet hopeful romantic, in the indie feature Step Back, Doors Closing, a 24-hour love story set in Washington, D.C. opposite Carmen Berkeley. He later appeared alongside Lucy Hale in Which Brings Me to You, playing Todd, the mischievous younger brother of Jane's (Hale) fiancé.
Now based in Los Angeles, with New York City as his second artistic home, Reilly Walters continues to bring depth, charm, and edge to every role he embodies.
