Timothy Charles Simons (born June 12, 1978 in Redfield, Maine) is an American actor. He is best known for his role as Jonah Ryan on Veep.
Notable Roles
Live-Action Television
- Looking for Alaska: Mr. Starnes
- Veep: Jonah Ryan
Film - Live-Action
- Yes, God, Yes: Father Murphy
Film - Animated
- Ralph Breaks the Internet: Butcher Boy
Western Animation
- Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Huginn
- Robot Chicken: Porter ("Robot Chicken's Santa's Dead (Spoiler Alert) Holiday Murder Thing Special")
- Big Hero 6: The Series: Supersonic Stu
Tropes associated with his roles include:
- The Big Guy: He's 6'5 and often towers over his co-stars. Veep has a lot of jokes made at Jonah's expense over his stature.
-
Retroactive Recognition: Sort of. He worked behind-the-camera on that weirdly incest-sounding Folgers Coffee commercial, which he apparently has little memory of. - Star-Making Role: Jonah Ryan.
- Those Two Actors: With fellow Veep actor Sam Richardson, where they play Those Two Guys. They once again play that type of duo in Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as Huginn and Muninn.
- Typecasting: Since he's known for playing Jonah, a bunch of his subsequent roles including Huginn and Supersonic Stu feature him playing an imbecile who can't seem to read the room and frequently overexplains and whines.
