Warning: Contains SPOILERS for The Handmaid's Tale season 6, episode 4!

Timothy Simons has ed the cast of The Handmaid's Tale character is one of the most despicable ones yet, which makes sense considering his previous TV casting.

The Handmaid's Tale season 6 has arrived, setting up an exciting finale for the hit Hulu TV show. The first three episodes of The Handmaid's Tale final season dropped at the same time, and season 6, episode 4 is continuing this story. The fate of Janine was previously revealed in episode 3, with her getting sent to Jezebel's instead of the Colonies. Now, episode 4 chronicles the further whereabouts of Janine, with her encountering a new Commander played by Timothy Simons while at Jezebel's.

What We Know About Timothy Simons' Commander Bell In The Handmaid's Tale

He Is A Patron At Jezebel's

Commander Bell is a new villain introduced in The Handmaid's Tale season 6, episode 4, with him being played by Timothy Simons. While at Jezebel's, Commander Bell seems to take a particular interest in Janine. Throughout his time in the episode, it is clear that he is grosser and more crude than his fellow Commanders, making him especially unlikable.

Outside of Jezebel's, however, very little is known about Commander Bell. His status within Gilead remains unknown, and his role in society isn't known either. It is likely that Commander Bell will continue to appear in future episodes of The Handmaid's Tale season 6, further fleshing out his character.

Timothy Simons' Commander Bell Is A Lot Like His Veep Character

Although Commander Bell Is Much Worse

Previously, Timothy Simons played Jonah Ryan in Veep, with this being one of his most notable roles. The two characters acutally have a lot in common, with Jonah and Commander Bell being abrasive, unlikable figures. However, Commander Bell is obviously much worse due to The Handmaid's Tale's tone and his character's role in Gilead's oppressive society.

Veep is far from the only notable show that Timothy Simons has appeared in. Simons also appeared in 2024's Nobody Wants This as Sasha Roklov, as well as 2022's Candy as Pat Montgomery. Simons has also appeared in films like Yes, God, Yes, Home Sweet Home Alone, The Interview, and The Hustle. Timothy Simons is another talented actor who has been added to the cast of The Handmaid's Tale, and it is exciting to see what he will get up to next.
