Corey Stoll made his Hollywood debut in the film “Okenka” while it was a minor role, it gave him a clue of what is demanded in the acting industry and Corey was ready to give his best. Debutants are not always given an instant breakout role.

2. House of Cards is arguably the best series he has starred

Corey’s fame expanded when he played the character of Peter Russo in the TV Drama series “House of Cards”. “In House of Cards”, he was a man with good intentions for the constituency he was representing but alcohol and womanizing made Frank Underwood bully him until he lost the respect his people gave him and eventually paid with his life.

He portrayed the character of Peter Russo so well that viewers who were angry with him for letting his constituency down came to the reality that it was only a movie and Corey was wearing his character like a badge.

Corey was nominated in Critics’ Choice Television Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series, he was also nominated in Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor Series, Miniseries or Television Film, and finally, he was nominated in Satellite Award for Best Supporting Actor Series, Miniseries or Television Film. All these nominations were as a result of his acting talent in “House of Cards”.

Looking back at the roles he has portrayed in time past especially playing the character of a sex shop clerk, he sure will have someone for anyone who is interested in taking up a career in acting.

3. Corey Stoll got married in 2015

Corey Stoll took some time off in 2014 amidst busy TV schedules to find a life partner. He must have decided that the time was right to find a wife in real life and not just on TV. People normally ask these questions. Who is Corey Stoll’s wife? Has Corey Stoll been married before? Does he have a child with another woman, probably someone famous too?

We will answer the second first. Corey Stoll has not been married before. There is no record that a woman has his baby (maybe except in movies). He has tried to leave life without drawing the attention of the media and he has been successful in doing this to a large extent.
