J.K. Simmons is an actor who is best known for his portrayal of Dr. Emil Skoda in Law & Order, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and Law & Order: Criminal Intent. Before he became a recurring character he played Jerry Luppin in the L&O Season 4 episode "Sanctuary".
Simmons is also known as the sadistic prison inmate Vernon Schillinger on the prison drama Oz. He also played the obsessively egotistical newspaper editor J. Jonah Jameson in all three Spider-Man movies. He also stars as Ralph Earnhardt, the father of famous race-car driver Dale Earnhardt, in 3: The Dale Earnhardt Story. He has been praised for his portrayal of Mac McGuff, Juno's father, in Juno. Currently, he plays as the Assistant Chief of the LAPD, Will Pope in The Closer.
Like many of his Law & Order co-stars, he also appeared in an episode of Homicide: Life on the Street, though he portrayed a criminal suspect, Alexander Rausch, rather than his Dr. Skoda character. The Season 4 episode "For God and Country" crossed over with Law & Order before Simmons joined the cast as Skoda.
