"This Is Us" has added "Westworld" actor Jimmi Simpson to its roster of guest stars this season.
Simpson, who plays William on the HBO scifi series, will play a character linked to Randall's storyline. According to Variety, Simpson will be introduced as Andy Fannan, a successful Wall Street trader who works with Sterling K. Brown's character. No airdate has been set for his guest spot on the NBC drama.
Simpson joins previously announced guest star Dennis O'Hare (American Horror Story), who will recur as a friend of Randall's father, William. In addition to Westworld, Simpson has also appeared on "House of Cards," "The Newsroom," "It's always Sunny on Philadelphia," "Psych," "Person of Interest" and "Hap and Leonard." In movies, his credits include "Date Night," "White House Down" and "Zodiac."
Created and executive produced by Dan Fogelman, "This Is Us" follows the lives of Kate, Kevin and Randall - three siblings whose lives were intertwined by fate since the day they were born. It also stars Mandy Moore as Rebecca, Milo Ventimiglia as Jack, Justin Hartley as Kevin, Chrissy Metz as Kate, Susan Kelechi Watson as Beth, and Chris Sullivan as Toby.
The show's upcoming episode titled "Career Days," will focus on Kate and Randall's career paths. Kevin, for his part, will take his relationship with Olivia to a new direction. In flashbacks, viewers will find Rebecca and Jack conflicted on how to deal with Randall - when they find out that he is a gifted child.
