ABC’s sci-fi drama FlashForward was one of the most heavily promoted new shows of the season – and it’s also become one of the most talked-about, if not for its ambitious plot, than for its ratings and scheduling troubles.

On the brink of the show’s relaunch for its final twelve episodes of season one, ABC hosted a set visit where I met and questioned the show’s seven leads about their roles and what’s to come. Today we are happy to present the first part of the interviews and will finish off tomorrow (March 18th) as the second half of the season starts!

Dominic Monaghan (Simon Campos)
On being part of multiple mythology-laden shows: “I don’t tend to want to know or want to understand stuff that my character doesn’t understand. As far as Simon’s concerned, there are a few things I needed to know, but the whole massive scale of it, I don’t tap into it too much. If Simon doesn’t know, I don’t want to know.”

On playing the show’s one semi-antagonist: “It’s fun. It was important to me to try and play a bad guy. Up until now I’ve kind of played good guys, and it was clear now that I want to play someone with a bit of an edge. That’s been interesting on the street, and it’s fun. I get to say the wrong thing and get on these people’s nerves.”

On jumping into the show in the middle of it: “It was a little bit frustrating but not too much of a nightmare. I learned a lot of stuff about quantum physics. I was intrigued with the way they brought me into the show, and it was the nature of the beast.”
