The Big Picture The Invincible voice cast is already loaded with some of the biggest and best talent in Hollywood, with Steven Yeun, Sandra Oh, Seth Rogen, Zazie Beetz, Sterling K. Brown, and Ben Schwartz being just some of the names on the cast list. Of course, one of the series' biggest standouts is Academy Award winner J.K. Simmons as Nolan Grayson aka Omni-Man.
Collider was fortunate enough to sit down and talk with Simmons about his role in Invincible, what's possibly next for Omni-Man, as well as his recent involvement in the video games Mortal Kombat 1 and Baldur's Gate 3, and updates on the long-awaited sequel to his 2016 film The Accountant. J.K. SIMMONS: My family and I play lots of board games. My twenty-something kids, my son, especially — our son, as it was not a solo endeavor — is not a real hardcore gamer, but he's in that world pretty frequently with his pals, and is a fan. Both of them, Mortal Kombat and Baldur's Gate, were both very exciting for him and his pals. I am not. I'm an old dog that did not learn the new tricks, and was frankly not all that interested in that side.
J.K. Simmons on the Unpredictability of Omni-Man and What Might Come Next I love the character of Omni-Man. The evil Superman is hot right now, but he’s also not that. He feels like such a complex character. I'm curious, how do you approach playing him? Did you know a lot about his redemption in Season 2 beforehand, like when you were recording Season 1?
SIMMONS: It's such an interesting question, too, and I love that it is a question on your mind, and a question worth answering, and no, I'm not gonna answer it. But I think, because we've seen enough of Omni-Man to know what his mission is and what his roiling conflicts, internal conflicts are, and things that he will continue to wrestle with, I think it might be one of those things where he doesn't know.
J.K. Simmons Is a Fan of Allen the Alien Close Do you have a favorite character on the show, obviously besides Omni-Man?
