From the teaser clips for this season’s hottest mystery, we get the hint that Dominic Monaghan’s character in ABC’s “FlashForward” has the answers the whole world seeks after experiencing a glimpse of life six months into the future for two minutes and seventeen seconds.

Monaghan is no stranger to mysteries, having some experience on an island on J. J. Abram’s “Lost”.  He had this to say about his character in “FlashForward”:

“Yeah, I can’t tell you a huge amount.  I play a guy called Simon who is linked through story lines with Jack’s [Davenport] character, Lloyd. He’s a very smart, intelligent scientist, and we begin the relationship with him under the impression that he knows more than he is giving away.”

“He’s almost a kind of reveal, in a way.  Obviously, Joe [Fiennes] and Sonya [Walger] and John [Cho] and Jack kind of are telling the story in the initial episodes, and my character, Simon, is kind of in the wings a little bit, kind of waiting, kind of a reveal. He’ll gradually be trickled in as the show picks up some steam.”

Jack Davenport’s character, the physicist Lloyd Simcoe, is the only character to carry over from the original source material, Robert J. Sawyer’s novel of the same title.  Davenport explains the similarities his character has with the one in the novel:

“He’s similar in the sense that his profession is the same, but obviously what [series co-creator] David [Goyer] has done is extrapolated from the novel in a way that the connections between the characters are much broader and much wider than they are in the novel. You follow multiple storylines in this in the way that in the novel it’s pretty much a single line.”
