John C. Reilly

* The actor plays Gus, the catcher in the film “For Love of the Game,” which opens Friday.

After Work . . .: I’d go to dinner at Nettie’s or Michelangelo, a new Italian restaurant nearby in Silver Lake, and check out a show at the Actors’ Gang theater. They’ve always got good stuff going on, but if there’s nothing there, I like the Troubadour. That’s my favorite place to see music, just because of the intimate feel and all the ‘70s-style wood.

Cool Pool: Saturday, my wife [producer Alison Dickey] and I usually go get lunch at Cha Cha Cha on Virgil Avenue, and then we’ll do something fun outside, like go to the Rose Bowl Aquatic Center. I think it was built for the Olympics. They have two giant pools, diving boards and the greatest Jacuzzi I’ve ever been in.

Beating Paths: I go hiking all over the place, like the east end of Griffith Park. Or, near Pasadena, there’s Mount Wilson. There’s all kinds of little fire roads that lead up to it. You basically go to the edge of civilization and just start walking. It’s one of the things that makes L.A. really unique: having wilderness so close to the metropolitan area.

Waffles and Yoga: Sundays start with waffles that we make on a waffle iron my mother-in-law gave us. Then we go to Ahimsa, a place in Silver Lake on Sunset, for yoga. That’s a really cool, very mellow, small yoga place that’s less like an aerobics class. It’s more spiritual, so you can really focus and get yourself centered. Or we go to the downtown YMCA, which is the best health club I’ve ever been in.

Hot Time: Beverly Hot Springs is another option. It looks like a set from the James Bond movies from the ‘60s with an indoor waterfall and fake rocks everywhere. But it’s the only natural hot springs in the city, so that’s really unique. Afterward, the mandatory place is Woe Lae Oak on Western near 8th Street. It’s Korean barbecue, and they make whatever you pick right at your table. It’s filling and satisfying, but also really healthy.
