If my mother hadn't tried to sell me chicken Kiev cutlets for $1. 40 after I graduated from college, maybe I would've been the lawyer she wanted me to be.
I literally went in and auditioned and got the part of "sounds like J. K. Simmons. " I've heard people say a "J. K. Simmons type, but younger" or "J. K. Simmons, but with hair" or "J. K. Simmons but Mongolian. " It's often "J. K. Simmons but. . . ". You think you're on top of the world and they're asking for a "J. K. Simmons-type" and then, before you know it, they're asking for a "J. K. Simmons only younger. " The next step is for a "J. K. Simmons-type. . . Oh, you mean he's still alive?"
