Performance of the Day

Actor: J.K. SIMMONS

Film: "Juno"

Character: Mac McGuff

Year: 2007

The first time I saw J.K. Simmons was in the gritty series "Oz". He played an aging neo-Nazi inmate in a maximum security prison. Well, needless to say, his portrayal of Mac McGuff in 2007's Best Picture Oscar nominee is VERY different. Simmons plays the cool, understanding father to title character Juno. He's a terrific actor and makes this part his own.

Diablo Cody's Oscar winning screenplay tells the story of dry, witty, and intelligent (beyond her years) Juno, who finds herself pregnant at sixteen. The cast is stellar (especially Page, Simmons, and a surprisingly beautiful Garner).
