Michael Emerson in his first TV gig

[spicedogs]

Michael Emerson's first TV gig was a made-for-TV movie called Orpheus Descending. It was really a reenactment of Tennessee Williams' play, starring Vanessa Redgrave. Michael had a really small part. He played a clown. You cannot see him, but his voice is very pronounced.  Enjoy....

taken out of context this is just the wierdest thing I have ever seen. The fact that I know that is our Mr. Emerson screaming in the background just made me laugh so hard!
Thanks for this!

My sentiments exactly. It's most bizarre. And Michael, well, he can be a clown in the background and he'll steal the scene.

You are so right about him stealing the scene. He certainly does.

Isn't it weird. It is a Tennessee Williams play. It was a bizarre and gruesome play. But it was funny to see Michael in a clown suit.
