Francis Jameson Parker Jr. (born November 18, 1947) is an American actor, best known for his role of A.J. Simon on the 1980s television series Simon & Simon.
Jameson Parker, Jr. was born in Baltimore, Maryland, on November 18, 1947. He was the son of Jameson and Sydney Buchanan (née Sullivan) Parker. His father was from Baltimore, and educated at Harvard Law School. He had been general legal counsel for the Parker family steel mill, an investment analyst, and government attorney (working first with the Maryland Public Expenditure Council and later with the United States Naval Reserve). In 1947, he was in private practice, but about to embark on a career as a diplomat with the United States Department of State. His mother was the daughter of Mark Sullivan, Sr., a former editor of Collier's and later columnist with the New York Herald Tribune newspaper. She was a short story author (under a pen name), and a reporter for The Washington Post. His parents eloped on June 8, 1933, and were married in Rockville, Maryland.
Jameson Parker, Sr. died in 1972. Sydney married her husband's Harvard Law School friend, Lewis Metcalfe Walling, a former New Deal labor attorney, in 1974.
Jameson Jr. attended St. Albans School in Washington, D.C., and a Swiss prep school. He studied drama at Beloit College.
At Beloit College, he acted in student theater productions, and, while living in Washington, D.C., he landed a job with a production of The Great White Hope at the Arena Stage and then acted in theatrical productions of Caligula and Indians. After completing his degree at Beloit College in 1971, he performed in dinner theater and in the Washington, D.C., area.
