You asked for it: We're putting two of network TV's finest sci-fi series to the test.
Reese helped a tough judge, handed out some burger-eating advice, and got some breakfast tips from Finch on Thursday as the two inched closer to bonding.
The CBS drama's central character is a tough nut to crack, but we should appreciate him for who he is: a throwback, mystery vigilante who isn't afraid to cry.
Plus: Will Forte guest-stars on Up All Night and a new batch of sexy crazies moves into The Real World.
i LOVE this guy! Benjamin Linus is a work of art! He's in my top ten Best Bad Guys Ever list right along side the Wicked Witch of th West & Darth Vader.(number 1 is Clancy Brown as the Kurgan in Highlander). Im so impressed. ok 100 word minimum....Im surprised we havnt seen (more of) Emerson before; hes the kinda guy i would love to have seen perform in his 20s or even ealier. We got lucky with Clint Eastwood,for instance, watching him act from very young to directing /writing /producing /everything in his older years. Too bad we couldnt have had Emerson all this time too.
So lately I have made myself a promise to review more actors on this site and by lately I mean now. So to get started who better than the best actor on TV who plays one of the best characters on TV on the best show on TV, It's none other than Michael Emerson a talented and two time Emmy award Nominee actor. Now this man should have those two Emmy's for sure. He is awesome as Ben Linus on Lost he has created a very unique character that is unpredictable and menacing. Is Ben a villain? Who know? What we do know is that he is acted out superbly by Emerson and that Lost wouldn't feel right without him. When I re watch the show and watch season one and the first half of season two I think "I cant wait till Ben comes into it" I love the first season especially from the first time I watched it but now I wonder what the the show would be like with out this great actor well I think it wouldn't be as good as it is with him.
I first saw Michael Emerson in the episode "One of Them" of the second season of Lost, arond the year 2006. Since I saw him for the first time, I saw he was a very good actor, because I really liked his interpretation. He was like a man who had lost his wife and had arrived in the island in a ballon, but he also was like a man of "The Others", two man very diferents. I think it's not easy to interpretate that two roles, and he did that perfectly. When it started in the series Lost he was only been in the series a few episodes, but finally they decided continue with him. I think that is the best decision they could have.
Micheal Emerson is a fantastic Actor and we have seen how good he is in the episodes of Lost.
Since he joined the Cast of Lost the show has gotten a lot better and more interesting.
His Performance in every episode is outstanding and no wonder he has been nominated for awards.
There are times were you just feel like hating him in Lost but other times were I can't understand him at all.
I have never seen him work on any other Movies or Series but he really made a good name for himself in Lost and a lot of people would like to see more of him.
A Very Very Talented Actor!!
Michael Emerson is best known for playing, Ben Linus, on the hit t.v. show LOST. Though he's not my favorite character, his acting is excellent and tops almost everybodies in television. Ben Linus is the leader of the others, a native group of people that live on the mysterious island. What's so great about Ben Linus is that he is very manupulative and can get inside any characters head. There have been other villians on LOST but those villians were all just physical for the most part. Ben is very intelligent. In my opinion, Ben is the greatest villian in the history of television.
