Background

Dennis French works for the Department of Homeland Security.


During the events of Contagion (2011) played by Enrico Colantoni

On Day 7, at the CDC, Dennis walks up to Dr. Ellis Cheever and asks him to come with him to the emergency operations center to meet with RADM Lyle Haggerty. Dennis hands out photographs of the quarantine in Kowloon and talks about strikes in Macao where three people have died that lived in the same bunkhouse. Dennis says Homeland Security's concern is a terrorist contracting the virus on purpose to use as a terror weapon. Dr. Cheever asks what the three casino workers died of and it matches that of the victims in Minnesota. On Day 18, Dennis walks into the office and tells Dr. Cheever there will be an investigation into whether he told people about the quarantine ahead of time. On Day 131, Alan Krumwiede has another meeting with Hedge Fund Man in Park and tells him, he isn't the only one to make money off of a viral outbreak. Hedge Fund Man in Park mentions studies show forsythia doesn't cure MEV-1. Alan then says the vaccine may cause unknown side effects and brags that he can convince people not to take the vaccine. Alan notices a sanitation worker paying attention to their conversation and asks Hedge Fund Man in Park if he is wearing a wire. Alan tries to run away, but is caught by authorities and Dennis tells him he is to be charged for securities fraud, conspiracy and manslaughter. On Day 133, Dennis tells Alan his body showed not having any antibodies to MEV-1. Alan is then released on bail paid for by his supporters.
