Bobdoc of Michael Emerson Fan Board wrote a nice article about Michael Emerson. He gets paid by the hits on his article. Let’s help him by, at least, clicking on the page. However, I do recommend it that you read it. It is a good article. Just click on the LJ-cut.

( Lost fans get a kick out of being freaked out by "Others" leader Benjamin Linus. His spooky look does have a lot to do with the spooky look of this actor, Michael Emerson. Lost hasn't been the same since Ben (Emerson) joined the show in season 2. And now it's hard to see Lost without them. Before joining Lost, Emerson was on the road to be typecast as just another actor playing creepy villains, as was apparent in most of his high-profile roles before Lost-for instance, Gerald "Gerry" Rankin (in the episode "Phantom," in season 1 of Law & Order: CI), among others. But on the road to getting Lost, Emerson went through a lot of different avenues as an actor before he ever met the Lost creators, or Ben. )
