| Jimmi Simpson was born in the small town of Hackettstown, New Jersey on November 21, 1975. He has two older brothers that are both older than him. Mike is 29 and Robbie is 31. As a teenager Jimmi attended Hackettstown High School and enjoyed skating and hanging out with his friends in his spare time. He also liked going to New York on the weekends and hanging out there since Hackettstown is only an hour outside of New York City. Although throughout high school he wasn't too into books or sports he did play soccer for his freshman and sophomore years. In high school, Jimmi concentrated his career at that time around singing. He was a member of the school's choir. Then, once he was out of high school he decided to persue a career in acting instead of singing. He attended Bloomsburg University of Pennslyvania and graduated, receiving a B.A. in acting. After that, he attended the Flat Rock Playhouse in Flat Rock, North Carolina and then went on to the Williamstown Theatre Festival in Williamstown, Massachusetts. He attended the festival for about 4 years and was in numerous plays with the theatre. Also, while he was there he got an opportunity of a life time to do a short skit during the intermission of "Cabaret" on Broadway in New York City. Then, he landed a part of 'Noah' in Amy Heckerling's movie, "Loser". He played a crazy, rich, party boy who got in a little too much trouble. After filming that, he went back to the Williamstown Theatre Festival and continued acting with them until he got asked by John Krokidas to be in a short film called, "Slo-Mo". Jimmi's character in the movie is a writer who gets a writers block and gets so depressed, he feels as if he is going way slower than everyone else. Since then, Jimmi has been in "Stephen King's Rose Red", "24", "D.E.B.S.;The Academy", "Final Draft", "Cold Case", and "NYPD Blue". Jimmi is currently dating fellow actress Melanie Lynskey whom he met on the set of "Stephen King's Rose Red". She played Sister Wheaton. Jimmi and Melanie both currently live in Los Angeles with their dog that they recently got named Mouse. More information coming soon! |
