(edit) Michael Emerson and his wife, Carrie Preston, have had roles in movies together since getting married in 1998. The list of movies in which they both appear in includes Straight-Jacket, Grace & Glorie and The Journey. She also appeared as the mother Michael Emerson's character (Benjamin Linus) on Lost, in episode "The Man Behind the Curtain. (edit) Michael Emerson is a long-time supporter of the charities that are connected to the Theater community such as Actors Fund, Broadway Cares, Gay Men's Health Crisis and Off-Off Broadway, as well as publicly supported radio stations, and Habitat.

Michael Emerson: The head of the makeup department, Steve LePorte, built this amazing prosthetic out of latex and other unknown materials. It looks so real, it's complete with rubber veins and nerves and a latex tumor. It has plumbing inside it so that blood can well up in there. It's amazing. (Talking about his makeup on Lost) (edit) Michael Emerson: Yeah, it's funny, working on a show with as large a cast as we have here, your work gets sort of compartmentalized. There's still about half the cast that I've never had a scene with but I have missed working with Terry. I think there might be something coming up where we get to do some scene work together. (Talking about the cast on Lost) (edit) Michael Emerson: I have thought right along that Benjamin Linus and his people are rebels or renegades or freedom fighters of some sort and that they are at war with whoever the real powers were that built and control the island. But I don’t have a lot of evidence for that either. That’s just sort of a feeling I have. I do feel like there are worse people out there than the others. I don’t know if worse is the right word. That implies a sort of value judgment. Maybe I should say there are scarier people out there than the others. (His theory of the show Lost) (edit) Michael Emerson: Oh, I don’t know that he’s any more a villain than he ever was, to tell you the truth. I’m still holding out hope that when the details of his real mission are revealed, we’re going to think he’s a little more heroic than we have. (Talking about his character in Lost being a villan or not) (edit) Michael Emerson: I know my wife likes Locke, but she likes Sayid too. I don't know - there's so many likeable characters to choose from. You've got to love Locke, though; he's a sturdy fellow and you feel sympathy with him. You feel like you're in good hands. (Talking about his favorite character in Lost) (edit)
