Mike Goss

Mike Goss is a character on Defying Gravity portrayed by Andrew Airlie. Famously cool to the point of freezing, Goss is the Flight Director of the Antares, stationed in Mission Control. A man whose decisions always seem to leave scars on others, he was the Mission Commander of the infamous Mars mission tragedy, thus cementing his ill-fated bond with Maddux Donner.
Against his better judgment, Goss allows Donner and Ted Shaw the opportunity to replace Ajay and Rollie on the Antares mission - a decision he will question every day for the next six years.
