Many CBM fans know Simmons for his fantastic performance as the head honcho of the Daily Bugle in the Raimi Spider-Man films. Also many may know him for his role as Assistant Chief Will Pope in TNT series The Closer which will be entering its eighth and final season this year.I was lucky and thrilled to get the opportunity to ask him some questions via email regarding his character, Tenzin, in the Legend of Korra and playing J. Jonah Jameson in animated and live-action form.You bet. I hope this works, despite my complete incompetence with all technology.Not unlike the actor who provides his voice, he's bald. And very virile. And wise. And attractive...That's one of many things that contributes to difficulty in their relationship.The old fashioned way. As I recall, (which I often do incorrectly) I auditioned for this one.Air. That way you can basically fly, which is my favorite G-rated fantasy.He's the same old penny-pinching, self centered, egotistical blowhard, basically.Yep. No audition for that one. Kind of a slam dunk.Not nearly as much. Animated work in general is more tightly scripted.Can't think of one. The ones I really know are already on the big screen.I think Lizard was going to be the bad guy either way. I don't know much about the re-boot, other than JJJ doesn't appear in it, I hear.I think JJJ was always a nice little dose of comic relief and a bit of a pain in the ass for Peter Parker, and that's how I liked it. Anything that puts JJJ in an uncomfortable situation would be fun.I think the audience will continue to be there if the movies are good.It's nice not to have to shave and put on make-up and spend 90% of your day waiting around, but it's also nice to be lucky enough to be doing both. Variety is a beautiful thing.We just finished the 8th (and final) season of The Closer, which will air in the summer, and I have a small part in a really wonderful movie called "The Words" starring Bradley Cooper that's getting a lot of attention at Sundance right now and I hope will get a good release. Another one in the can is a wacky mockumentary comedy called "Geezers" which is in post and will be looking for distribution. Also a couple of animated projects and a few indie films in development. And I'm selling a little insurance on the side...
