The ‘Veep’ and ‘Nobody Wants This’ actor sees some disturbing similarities between his most loathsome character and America’s next vice president.
For better or worse, Timothy Simons will probably always be best known for the first TV role he ever booked: the cravenly odious political climber Jonah Ryan on HBO’s.
Asked if that comparison rang true to him, Simons replies, “It did. Jonah’s whole thing was, he doesn’t have a morality that he stands on. He just wants to be either in power or standing next to power. And forward motion in his career is the only thing that matters. And that clearly seems true with JD Vance, who seems to have abandoned a lot of principles he had in order to be on the ticket.”
“The one thing that I would say is that one thing Jonah Ryan was actually good at was picking the right thing for a menu when he was with a candidate on the campaign trail,” Simons adds. “So I do think, in that way, Jonah Ryan is actually a more successful candidate and a more successful person than JD Vance.”
