EXECUTIVE PRODUCER DAVID GOYER

Dominic Monaghan is saying we have to wait until episode six or seven to see him.
Maybe not. He may appear in the show before people realize he's
in the show. We cast him before we shot the pilot.

What can you tell us about Dom's character?
Simon is a genius, He went to college when he was 14 years old.
He's a very conflicted character. He's very much the opposite of Charlie on Lost. People are going to see a different side of Dominic Monaghan, which is something he was pretty excited
