For the principal live-action portrayals of Peter Parker, the order by first major screen appearance is Nicholas Hammond, Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, then Tom Holland. Hammond played Spider-Man on 1970s television; the other three led separate theatrical film eras. This is a chronology, not a ranking—and it is not a complete list of every Spider-Man voice, stunt performer, or person to take on the identity.
Live-action Spider-Man actors in order
- Nicholas Hammond — Hammond played Peter Parker and Spider-Man in the 1970s live-action television series The Amazing Spider-Man and its associated television films. His portrayal came before the modern theatrical series.
- Tobey Maguire — Maguire starred as Peter Parker/Spider-Man in Sony’s Spider-Man (2002), the first film in Sam Raimi’s trilogy. Sony’s film page identifies Maguire in the role.
- Andrew Garfield — Garfield played Peter Parker/Spider-Man in The Amazing Spider-Man film series, beginning with the 2012 film.
- Tom Holland — Holland plays Peter Parker/Spider-Man in the Marvel Studios and Sony film era. Sony and Marvel announced his casting in 2015; Sony’s announcement named him as their Spider-Man.
What “in order” means
This list orders the actors by their first notable live-action portrayal, not by the characters’ fictional timeline or by acting performance. Hammond belongs to an earlier television era; Maguire, Garfield, and Holland headline separate theatrical continuities. Crossover stories bring characters from different continuities together, but do not make the casting history one continuous series.
Why this is not every Spider-Man actor
“All the Spider-Man actors” can mean more than live-action Peter Parker leads. Animated series and films have many credited voice performers, and Spider-Man is also an identity carried by characters other than Peter Parker. For example, Jake Johnson voices Peter B. Parker in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and its sequel, while Shameik Moore voices Miles Morales, another Spider-Man.
The 1967 animated Spider-Man television series also had voice performers. A genuinely exhaustive all-media roster would need clear rules for what to include—animation, Japanese productions, games, stage appearances, stunt and suit performers, short appearances, fan works, and Spider-people other than Peter Parker—and verified credits for each. The four names above are therefore best read as the main live-action Peter Parker chronology, not every performer ever associated with Spider-Man.
