Role in the movie

Crewman Simon Doonan befriends Jamie Perse, a fellow criminal who stole a ticket to board the Titanic. Doonan gives his hat to Jamie in order to disguise himself so that two cops won't catch him. They succeed in hiding from the cops. Doonan plans for him and Jamie to steal numerous gold and jewelry from the rich passenger on the ship. However things go out the window when Jamie falls in love another passenger name Aase Ludvigsen.

Doonan rapes and beats up Aase in the Third Class showers on the night of the Titanic's sinking, covering her mouth as she tries to call for help. This causes her to lose her faith and will to live, even though he was warned by Jamie to stay away from her. After Doonan rapes Aase, he manipulates Jamie from finding out the truth by forcing Jamie to abandon her, much to Jamie's chagrin. Doonan later locks the gates to third class preventing the steerage passengers from reaching the decks. After the ship hits an iceberg and begins to sink, Jamie confronts Doonan in his stateroom where Doonan gives him a diamond tiara and puts the gold he stole in a bag. Doonan is ready to board a lifeboat by disguising himself as a woman since men were not allowed by officers to board a lifeboat but Jamie objects on going since they would be taking spots from women and children.

Doonan responds, "some poor cows and their matey kids down in steerage will never know the difference" and refuses to help Jamie help the steerage passengers escape, making discriminatory comments about them. Jamie is disgusted and angered by his comments and finally realizes his true nature and in fact that he has raped Aase. Jamie punches him and Doonan falls into the bed. Jamie demands to know what Doonan did to her. Doonan retorts by gaining the upper hand and pinning him to the wall, stating that she was "begging" for it and continues to assault him before kicking him and saying "you're going down with the ship". Jamie retorts by saying if that happens he wont be needing no tiara. As Jamie leaves his room, Doonan shouts "Save yourself boy! Save yourself!"

When the Titanic begins to sink, Jamie has Aase get into Isabelle's lifeboat. Unknown to Jamie, Aase, and Isabelle, Doonan sneaks onto Isabelle and Aase's lifeboat by disguising himself as an old woman.

After the Titanic sinks, Aase begs Fifth Officer Harold Lowe to go back and help dying passengers in the freezing water. Doonan reveals himself to the passengers in the lifeboat and demands that they not rescue any of the passengers as they will be swamped. Aase attacks Doonan and tries to knock him off the lifeboat, however he gets the upper hand and throws her out. He then pulls out a gun and orders the passengers in the lifeboat to sit down otherwise he will shoot them. Isabelle tells him animals like him wouldn't do this to their own kind. She and Officer Lowe attempt to rescue Aase from the freezing water, at which point Doonan tells them to sit down. Fifth Officer Lowe then hits Doonan with an oar, snapping his neck and killing him.

Doonan's dead body is then shown floating in the freezing water with money floating around him. As a result of being thrown in the ice cold water by Doonan, Aase suffers from mild hypothermia and is taken to the hospital aboard the Carpathia.
