"Person of Interest" at The Paley Center for Media on May 1, 2012 (LA) and October 3, 2013 (NY). Actors Jim Caviezel, Michael Emerson, and executive producers Jonathan Nolan and Greg Plageman are among the people of interest who have made CBS’s "Person of Interest" one of the most ingenious and intriguing shows on television.

These PALEYLIVE events celebrate "Person of Interest," the dramatic mystery series about a former CIA agent turned vigilante who works to prevent crimes in New York City with the use of "the Machine" built by an enigmatic billionaire.

"Person of Interest": Cast and Creators Live at the Paley Center, May 1, 2012. Diane Gordon (writer, The Surf Report) moderates the following panelists: creator/executive producer Jonathan Nolan; executive producer Greg Plageman; and cast members Jim Caviezel ("John Reese"), Michael Emerson ("Harold Finch"), and Kevin Chapman ("Det. Lionel Fusco").

The panelists touch on such topics as: the show's lack of a "moralizing" stance about invasion of privacy and Emerson's "fretting" about finding a suitable character to follow his infamous Ben Linus on "Lost."

Questions from the audience then lead to a discussion of several topics, among them: why producers wanted the show's dark tone laced with humor.

Lionel Fusco"), Amy Acker ("Root"), and Sarah Shahi ("Shaw").

The panelists touch on several topics, including Nolan's sense of a new "golden age" of television.

Questions from the audience then lead to a discussion of the following topics among others: the cast's experiences shooting on the streets of New York and the "horrifying" parallels between the show's scripts and real-life government surveillance tales.
