Colonel Frank Simmons USAF is a fictional character in the science fiction television series Stargate SG-1. The role was played by John de Lancie.
Col. Simmons became the NID liaison to Stargate Command after Col. Harry Maybourne was arrested for treason. He was introduced in episode 5:03, "Ascension". Simmons was notorious for always claiming to have the best interest of the nation at heart, while really he has his own political agenda. He was constantly trying to paint the SGC personnel as incompetent.
In episode 5:11, "Desperate Measures", Simmons shoots Col. Jack O'Neill in the back while O'Neill was attempting to capture a Goa'uld who has taken Adrian Conrad as host. In episode 5:14, "48 Hours", the SGC enlisted the help of Col. Maybourne in order to find a way to fix a malfunction that has trapped Teal'c. It is then realized by the SGC that Simmons was behind the disappearance of the Goa'uld and that he was holding it captive. After General George Hammond learned of this, he had Simmons arrested.
In episode 6:11, "Prometheus", rogue NID agents hijack the unfinished starship Prometheus. In addition, they take Major Samantha Carter, Jonas Quinn, and a reporter named Julia Donovan hostage. They threaten to overload the hyperdrive, which would create a massive explosion. Their demands were that Simmons, along with Adrian Conrad's Goa'uld, be released. Col. O'Neill and Maj. Paul Davis agree and had Simmons and Conrad board the Prometheus. Despite Simmons' tale of how he was acting in the interested of saving lives, it later turned out that he had orchestrated the entire affair. His plan did not succeed, however, as O'Neill and Teal'c were able to get on board. In the meantime, the Goa'uld attacks Simmons. Conrad is killed, but the Goa'uld is able to infect Simmons. He got into a fight with O'Neill, but O'Neill was able to lock him in an airlock, and release Simmons into the vacuum of space, effectively killing him.
