" The Event star Ian Anthony Dale has revealed that his character Simon Lee is key to the show&amp;#039;s multiple storylines. The new NBC drama focuses on a government conspiracy to hide a mysterious group of prisoners in Alaska. Dale told SFX: &amp;quot;What I can tell you is that Simon is a government operative with mysterious ties to detainee leader Sophia (Laura Innes).&amp;quot; He added that the character of Simon will link the show&amp;#039;s various plot strands together. &amp;quot;What&amp;#039;s really cool is that there are all these rich, diverse, grounded characters inhabiting these very separate worlds,&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot;They are all dealing with some critical personal dilemma which keeps it grounded, but Simon more or less becomes the bridge that connects all of the stories together.&amp;quot; The Event premieres on September 20 on NBC.
