    I love how he mentions how grateful he is for his opportunities. He takes nothing for granted. His notoriety is well deserved. I'm so happy to see him steadily working. He's even motivated me to start writing again. Not to mention he has the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen.

    Love this dude. The creep he plays on It's always Sunny is one of my favorite supporting characters of all time. I'm so glad he got this opportunity in Westworld to show that he can carry a leading role.

    • @homedogoli
      @homedogoli 7 лет назад +7

      He played quite a big role in House of Cards too. Played the part pretty well too if I remember correctly.

    i hope he gets more serious roles..he has that natural look-not your pretty boy actor-and has the talent to fit a role that fits his physical features..really like his voice too

    • @luckyDancer100
      @luckyDancer100 4 года назад +10

      jaja1818 maybe it’s just me, but I feel like that pretty boy imagine is so boring. Like Hollywood keeps trying to push it, and I understand that it’s a visual medium. But I’d rather see someone who looks like a real person.

      @iAmTheSquidThing 7 лет назад +14

    @alexarias5717 7 лет назад +5

    I immediately recognized this guy when I first saw him appear on Westworld even though I couldn't remember where from. Needless to say I was so happy he was in it

  • @IIIIKaiserIIII
    @IIIIKaiserIIII 7 лет назад +6

    Crazy how this guy keeps popping up in all of my favorite tv shows.
    I first saw him in ASIP.
    Then he popped up in Psych (not one of my favorite shows, but I like it).
    Then he popped up in HoC
    Then he popped up in PoI.
    And now he has popped up in WW.
    Every role I've seen him in he was great. Such a good actor. He deserves a big movie supporting role. Maybe Christopher Nolan will cast him in something after having a word with his brother Jonathan Nolan. Jonathan seems like he's loving working with him. Casting him in both PoI and WW.

  • @Saved_Sinner0085
    @Saved_Sinner0085 7 лет назад +3

    Jimmi is a phenomenal actor, from the first time I saw him as Liam McPoyle, I knew he had something special. It has been over-joyous to watch his career grow.

  • @Link122

    McPoyle comes to Westworld. I feel good about it. Feels like a great fit. Missing his brother, naturally.

    he made William one of my favorite characters before tv destroyed it. He was so magnetic...I still consider him the most charismatic character....before they destroy it...gorgeous and talented actor...wish we had young William for longer

  • @maxhollenbeck9074
    @maxhollenbeck9074 7 лет назад +11

    Why did he get the part? Spoiler:
    He looks like Ed Harris in terms of face shape and eye color and they needed an actor to play young Ed after they had already made the pilot. But Jimmy knocked it out of the park in my opinion. Hope to see him in more dramatic roles.

    • @ZakTheRipper18
      @ZakTheRipper18 5 лет назад +2

      he looks like Ed Harris if you sucked the testosterone out of his jawline. They barely resemble each other at all in face or body type, but whatever.

    When I first noticed him as Lyle the intern on Letterman's show I figured he had real acting chops. It was such a ridiculous character and he was able to keep his "Lyle" composure; from that I figured he could do any character.

    I bought all three seasons of Westworld on RUclips purely because I wanted to see Jimmi Simpson act without making everybody bust s gut laughing.... So with all the outstanding actors that make up the cast of Westworld, I was most drawn to this epic series as a fan of Jimmi .
    Such an enjoyment seeing his acting in this role..... Bet the gang from Sunny are super proud ❤ ✌ 🎥
