James Raymond Simpson (born November 21, 1975) is an American actor. He is best known for his work on television, which includes It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, The Late Show with David Letterman, Psych, Breakout Kings, House of Cards, Hap and Leonard, Westworld, Black Mirror, and Unsolved.

His feature film credits include Loser (2000), Fully Loaded (2005), Zodiac (2007), The Invention of Lying (2009), Date Night (2010), Vampire Hunter (2012), White House Down (2013), and Under the Silver Lake (2018).

Early life

Simpson was born and raised in Hackettstown, New Jersey, the youngest of three brothers,[1] and attended Hackettstown High School, where he took his first class in acting.[2]

After graduating from Bloomsburg University with a Bachelor of Arts in theater, he acted for four seasons at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in Massachusetts.[3]

Career

In 2000, Simpson made his feature film debut in the teen comedy Loser, directed by Amy Heckerling. This was followed by various roles on television, including the Stephen King miniseries Rose Red, and appearances on 24, NYPD Blue, Cold Case, and Carnivàle. Subsequent film roles included Fully Loaded, with Lindsay Lohan (2005); Seraphim Falls, with Liam Neeson (2006); and David Fincher's critically acclaimed Zodiac (2007).

In 2008, Simpson starred in The Farnsworth Invention on Broadway, opposite Hank Azaria. His portrayal of Philo T. Farnsworth was described as "superb" by The Chicago Tribune,[4] and earned him a Theatre World Award.[5]

From 2008–09, Simpson made several guest appearances as Lyle, a fictional intern, on The Late Show with David Letterman.[6] During that time, he also appeared in episodes of Crime Scene Investigation, My Name is Earl, House, and Psych; and had supporting roles in the films The Invention of Lying, directed by Ricky Gervais (2009), and Date Night, with Steve Carell (2010).

Other notable credits include the cult TV comedy series It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, on which he appeared over several seasons as Liam McPoyle, and the A&E series Breakout Kings, where he starred as Lloyd Lowery.

From 2012–14, Simpson appeared in the films Vampire Hunter, The Truth About Emanuel, and White House Down. He then appeared as Gavin Orsay, a recurring character, on the Netflix series House of Cards (2014–15).[7] For this, Simpson — along with the rest of the main cast — was nominated on two occasions for the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series.[8][9]

In 2016, Simpson starred with James Purefoy on the first season of SundanceTV's Hap and Leonard. That same year, he appeared in a principal role on the first season of HBO's Westworld. His portrayal of William — a visitor to Westworld; a futuristic Wild West-themed amusement park populated by androids — was described as "spellbinding" by Variety.[10] For his work on Westworld, Simpson was once again nominated for the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series.[11] The following year, it was announced that Simpson would return for the show's second season.[12] For his performance in the second season, he received a nomination at the 70th Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series.[13]

In 2017, Simpson starred in "USS Callister", the first episode of the fourth season of Charlie Brooker's critically acclaimed anthology series, Black Mirror. For his performance, he received a nomination for the British Academy Television Award for Best Supporting Actor.[14]

Personal life

Simpson met actress Melanie Lynskey in 2001, when they both appeared in Rose Red. The pair became engaged in 2005 and married on April 14, 2007, in a chapel near Queenstown, New Zealand.[15]

Lynskey filed for divorce from Simpson on September 25, 2012, citing irreconcilable differences.[16] The divorce was finalized in May 2014.[17]
