Who Plays Milo Simmons on ‘Tracker’? Here’s Why the ’90s Actor Looks So Familiar
On ‘Tracker’ Season 3 Episode 7, Tobias Jelinek guest stars as Milo Simmons.
Tracker continues its trend of rotating guest stars throughout the third season, after saying goodbye to much of its supporting cast.
With Justin Hartley in the lead as Colter Shaw, the only other full-time star is Fiona Rene, who portrays Reenie, though the series tapped Cassady McClincy Zhang as Mel Day and Chris Lee as Randy as recurring co-stars to shake things up at the law office that assists Colter on his cases.
Tracker Season 3 Episode 7 was no different, featuring two recognizable faces tapped for key roles during the episode titled “Eat the Rich.”
If your Sunday night included watching Tracker and you found yourself wondering why the character Milo Simmons looked so familiar, it’s because he’s actually from a popular ’90s film you’ve likely seen more than once.

Jelinek is best known for his role as Jay in Disney’s cult classic Hocus Pocus, where he starred opposite the iconic trio of witches played by Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy. His character served as a minor antagonist—Max Dennison’s (Omri Katz) bully—who ultimately ends up locked in a cage in the Sanderson Sisters’ cottage.
However, his career didn’t stop at the 1993 Halloween hit, it’s where it started. The 48-year-old has spent 30 years building a reputation for portraying bold characters on both TV and film.
His impressive screen credits include a number of notable projects like Stranger Things, Mayfair Witches, This Is Us, Marvel and DC Universe roles in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D and Arrow, and even a handful of comedies like The Mindy Project.
Most recently, he appeared in a guest role on an episode of ABC’s hit series High Potential and NBC’s The Hunting Party, brought to life the mysterious Lord Morsus on Disney Channel’s reboot of Wizards of Waverly Place titled Wizards Beyond Waverly Place, and portrayed the real-life series killer Richard Speck in Ryan Murphy’s Monsters on Netflix.
