NO NEED FOR THE GYM:  

 "My work is my workout" says "Lost" regular Michael Emerson. The Emmy-winning, mild-mannered, somewhat nebbishy actor who plays Ben Linus, the evil head of the castaways known as "The Others," adds, "I continue to be amazed that I spend so much of my story line in scenes of violence because I'm not the most physical person. I think it's hilarious that I'm in an action program because I'm the last guy they would ever pick for running through jungles. And there are really physically fit people on the show, like Terry O'Quinn, Matthew Fox and Josh Holloway. … I'm always a little bit intimidated."

Still, Emerson notes it's his very lack of overt testosterone that makes him the perfect villain. "It's a reverse packaging. People like the idea that the scariest criminals come in the mildest packages. As if the fact that the neighbor was 'such a nice, quiet person, he helped me carry my groceries' is proof he's not a psychopath or a serial killer."

"Lack of overt testosterone" *snort* Something about that is faintly ridiculous to me.

Ben has more testosterone than Sawyer any old day, even when the latter is trying stare him down. Doesn't work.

And curse her for abbreviating him! :) We want the full quote, dangit.

Yes, I am a fangirl, and that makes me crazy.

Michael should not be intimidated by anyone. But the fact that he is....is just a tad bit hott.

No, it's not protected. I received this in my google alerts. :D And it's now linked on the Fuse.

And Terry is the one Michael is comparing himself to. He is da man! :D

It's funny that he thinks of himself that way.

I love the way both men (Terry and Michael) respect each other and each other's work.
