British actor, most famous for being [[The Woobie|Seventies-trapped Woobie]] Sam Tyler in ''[[Life On Mars]]'' and [[Large Ham|a magnificently hammy]] Master in ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]''. Other notable roles include Sexby in the English Civil War drama ''[[The DevilsDevil's Whore]]'', Raskolnikov in a BBC adaptation of ''[[Crime and Punishment (Literature)|Crime and Punishment]]'', and characters in the films ''[[Skellig]]'' and ''24 Hour Party People'' (in the latter, playing [[Joy Division]] guitarist/NewOrder lead singer Bernard Sumner).
 
Still, ''[[The Mighty Boosh]]'' asks "Who the fuck is John Simm?"
Line 14:
* [[Mean Character, Nice Actor]]: As the Master.
* [[Retroactive Recognition]]: His ''Blink and You'll miss it'' role in ''[[Spaced]]''.
* [[So My Kids Can Watch]]: It's the reason he was in ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]''.
** [[Irony]]: After watching his own performance, he thought his own children shouldn't see what he did as The Master due to it being ''too disturbing''.
* [[Method Acting]]: He says there's no such thing as the Method, but since the term is colloquially used to refer to Stanislavskian acting styles, this fits in with his training and his acting style.
