~ Roger Simmons telling Senator Parker to get off of the breacher's buoy and his last words.

Roger Simmons is the electrical engineer of the Glass Tower and son-in-law of the Tower's owner James Duncan and the main antagonist of the 1974 film The Towering Inferno.

He was played by Richard Chamberlain.

Biography[]

Before the grand opening of the Glass Tower, Simmons placed wiring that he believed was inspected and approved so the architect Doug Roberts disappointingly paid Simmons a visit to the engineer's home to discuss what happened in the main utility room. The engineer was prepared for the Glass Tower party in the promenade room, but James Duncan ordered a private meeting with him after the party. Suddenly, Simmons' "fluky wiring" causes a massive fire in the tower. With no way out with the stairs cut off by explosions, he decides to resort to drinking. After the women including Roger's wife Patty are safely buoyed to the Peerless Building, Simmons tries to get on the breaches buoy but is warned that he has a number by his own father-in-law. The fire begins closing in, and Simmons tries to steal the buoy, even going as far as dropping Senator Gary Parker to his death, but another explosion breaks the buoy loose and Simmons plunges to his doom. His death is later confirmed by Patty when she asks to see him.
