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.

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

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.

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.
One of the most underrated actors of our time!

His Westworld character is one of my favorites on the show. Human perspective on what truth Westworld really is.
"When you don't have an agenda, you have no expectations, you see more, you observe more" Great quote there from Jimmi
Jimmi is amazing. I have always loved him as Liam McPoyle

+bashzer0 There's actually a scene in Westworld where he's introduced as a businessman. Which made me laugh.
I adore every time he's on screen - such a strong actor, totally gets my full attention. can't wait to watch this show at some point
He is so sweet and lovely !

I love Jimmi and his weird roles SO much! I feel like he's so under appreciated. So happy this guy gets to really dive deep with this role.
This kid does a great job in every role i've seen him in. West World nailed it casting him as William
I loved loved LOVED this show. Everything about it. The writing, the acting, the issues it raised, the cinematography, even the score. It was pretty much damn near perfect imo.
Jimmi Simpson is a national treasure
This was a great interview. He is one of my favorites.
This guy is great in Always Sunny and House Of Cards! I really hope hes kept on Westworld for quite a bit.

totally became a bigger fan of Jimmi Simpson after this interview!
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.

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.
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.
wow this interview really shows he is a very good actor !
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.
McPoyle comes to Westworld. I feel good about it. Feels like a great fit. Missing his brother, naturally.
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
I fuckin love this guy! Glad to see him in this role.
I feel so bad for the guy who tried to edit the audio for this.
jimmi is amazing and i could fall asleep to his voice. in a good way of course.
lol he seemed so recognizable to me and i couldn't place it until the mention of it's always sunny
I think he is playing younger version of MIB (Ed Harris), basically showing the flashback of how a good guest turned into sadistic murderer

This guy is amazing. Him and Ford were my favorite characters in the show by far.
The favorite role of WW, jimmi is so hot!
Good to see inside the minds of many actors and actresses (not all of them though). His character in WW seems like a guy that many people can relate to. Should be fun to watch.
Great interview. The T.V host is amazing, he asks pertinent questions while giving time to Jimmi to answer and develop them
"taking it back to westfield for a second" lol
Love Jimmi's acting. first saw him in DEBS. enjoying Westworld so far. hope it takes off.

Delores is still expecting a call William. 📞 YOU'LL CALL HERRRR !!! ❤ 🌞 🎥 don't flush I bought all three seasons of Westworld on KZread 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 ❤ ✌ 🎥
Such a great actor and a great show. Mind blown. I'm rewatching it now that season 1 is done! But on another note... the guy who asked the last question = hot. hahaha
I've loved Jimmi since D.E.B.S. awesome that he skates.
Thank god for subtitles
Barely seen him, but have always loved his presence.
“Bump it” 😂😂 loved him in Always Sunny.

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.
Jimmi was Fantastic in the movie Gravy.
Loved him in DEBS.
I'm in love 😍
I didn't even know AOL still existed.
Lyle the intern... you made it! Loved William. Letterman and I are proud of you!

Brandy Stevens I actually know who he is. I'm really surprised anyone would use him as a reference. Is it still 2003?
He was such a dork villain in D.E.B.S. It was a fun movie.
been a fan of his ever since that video game horror movie "Stay Alive." not a great movie, but he really was a stand out.
Jimmi was great, the host (Rick) was great. Love this show.
Haha, watching this after the finale! Hahaha, so ironic. So good!
Jimmi was also great on Party Down.
22:32 and 28:54 seems like giving hints about what happens to his character William in Westworld before it is seen. Now, I have seen up to episode five and I know what he means.

No one who's seen Always Sunny can ever unsee him as Liam McPoyle
Loved him in Knights of Badassdom!
There's just something about Jimmi...
He was in POI. Great character!!
Has anyone else noticed how perfectly shaped Jimmi's eyebrows are?
His best performance was on Party Down.
Watch him as a Mcpoyle brother on Its Always Sunny On Philly, i PROMISE you its worth it!
still remember him for his cameo in party down

My favorite "weirdo" role of his was in Psych!
