"Lost" Star Visits Students

Michael Emerson, who stars as Ben in the hit ABC series "Lost", visited 'Iolani School on Tuesday, October 30, speaking to the cast and crew of Antigone and members of the Lost Fan Club. 

Emerson got his start in acting as a member of his high school's Speech and Debate Team in Toledo, Iowa. He studied theater and art at Drake University and then moved to New York City because "I thought that's what all actors did," he said.

Emerson talked about his career and his big breaks. He discussed the differences between acting on stage versus for film. He also revealed what working on a series like "Lost" is really like. 

Emerson enjoys learning from seasoned actors who serve as great mentors and examples. Students asked questions following his talk. Emerson graciously signed autographs and posed for pictures. The fourth season of "Lost" will begin airing on ABC in February.

more pics! SWOON! I do hope he decides to post at least part of that video he took. I'd like to see Michael speaking in a more relaxed setting.
Thanks for as always keeping us covered in Michael!

I asked the student to publish it, but I got no answer. I would love to see him in a relaxed setting as well.

I now asked the school whether they would share these pictures in a higher resolution. We shall see.

And, you know that this is a labor of love.

Oh very cool!

My school did an amazing production of Antigone. I wasn't in it because it was upper school and I was in eighth grade. :( But it was beautiful. I love that play. ♥

It's cool that Michael went!

Michael is just the coolest actor I have ever encountered on this Earth. Jorge Garcia is the second coolest.

They both are really, really cool. Love those guys. Such talent and good souls.
