Bio says he plays piano so that is him playing on Big Bang. Probably helped to get him cast in FFJ.

I've known about FFJ since college in the 70s. I even have a CD.

Looking forward to the movie. Cast just makes it more of a must see.

I think it's out in theatres outside the USA. I saw it today, loved him in it. All the cast were great, but I definitely took special notice of Simon.

No, him being a professional pianist helped him get this role, but what he does on big bang is just simple keyboard playing, stuff anyone can do. What he does in this movie not many people out there can do well :)

He is a profesional pianist as well as a great actor. What a great performance in Florence Foster Jenkins, loved him in it. I can't recommend that movie enough. Meryl Streep better get an Oscar and I would not be surprised if both he and Hugh Grant get Supporting Oscar noms.

Simon did an amazing job as Cosmo McMoon. Not only great at keyboard technique, but he captured the spirit of Cosmo, as well. Brilliantly done!

Don't know much about him as I don't watch TV anymore but I do have to agree that he was outstanding in "Florence Foster Jenkins". He was definitely robbed of a Supporting Actor nomination because he definitely stole the picture.
