J.K. Simmons said: “Our son has no interest in acting.

Joe’s Parents Have Worked Together

Joe Simmons’ parents J.K. Simmons and Michelle Schumacher have worked together. They even met when they were working together on a stage tour of “Peter Pan”. J.K. Simmons jokingly said that working with his spouse is ‘Just like at home, I do as directed’. JK starred in the film “I’m Not Here,” which was directed, produced, edited, and co-written by his wife Michelle Schumacher.

The lovely couple, JK and Michelle did share a work-love balance on the set of I’m Not Here. J.K. Simmons revealed that being directed by his wife Michelle helped him to “literally and figuratively” bare it all in the film, I’m Not Here.

“I think honestly it makes it easier,” he told the Standard. “I think especially in a film like this where I’m literally and figuratively baring it all, it was nice to have any director that I had a comfort level with.”

He said of his role: “It was an interesting lesson in that regard. Coming from the theatre as both my wife and I do, my script study tends to be all about dialogue, so this was an opportunity to explore something else,” he said.

Speaking of “I’m Not Here,” Michelle said: “Yes! An intentionally unreliable narrator. We started by casting incredible actors who are not only intelligent and sensitive, but who actually look alike. J.K. Simmons, Sebastian Stan and Iain Armitage look as if they could be the same person at different ages in life.”

She also said: “One of the things we tried to do in this movie is show that everyone is doing the best they can in life at any given moment in time. We may not always make the healthiest choices or be the kindest person, but most of us are doing the best we can with the tools we have. It’s not about blame or specific coping mechanisms, but about trying to keep in mind that all things are possible.”
