Who Is Simon Miller?

Simon Miller (Loren Dean) outwardly appears to be a geologist who must frequently take business trips, which has strained the relationship with his family, including his wife Meredith (Robyn Lively) and teenage children Sarah (Skyler Day) and Kevin (Drew Koles). When Simon suddenly does not return from his latest trip, they go looking for him. They receive assistance from Amanda (Christine Baranski), another covert operative who initially seems to be a friend, but appears to have her own motives. ==Production==

Originally titled Passport, Baranski canceled a birthday trip she had planned in Paris to accept the role, the shooting for which began immediately after the filming of her role as Diane Lockhart on the CBS drama series The Good Wife. It marked the first time Baranski has portrayed a spy, and she did some reading about life in the Central Intelligence Agency to prepare, but otherwise had little time for research. Robyn Lively particularly complimented the family dynamic among the characters in the script, as well as a scene in which Simon apologizes to Meredith at a train station for the impact his career has had on the family. Lively said she became genuinely emotional while filming the scene. ==Reception==

The Christian Post writer Josephine Vivaldo said films on Family Movie Night on NBC/FOX often include values and moral lessons, but that Who Is Simon Miller? "proved that they can also make it about car chasings, multiple identities, cryptography, secret agents and action-packed entertainment minus the severe violence". ==References==
