Ode to a cool actor...
Michael Emerson scared the CRAP out of me during his 4 episode arc as William Hinks on The Practice (late 2000, early 2001). He was a creepy, CREEPY serial killer that stalked Lindsey. We talked about him for YEARS afterwards.
Fast forward 5 years and this creepy guy turns up on Lost, playing Benjamin Linus. I looked him up on www.imdb.com and almost peed my pants when I realized that IT WAS THE SAME GUY!!!!
That's when I realized. Wow! This guy is a really good actor! He's amazing on Lost. Love him! And he won an Emmy for it! (And he won an Emmy for William Hinks, too!)
Here's the kicker: before he played creepy serial killers and tormented leaders on TV, he did theatre. Specifically, Shakespeare COMEDIES! HA! That's awesome!
Some people pick their favorite actors based on look. I pick my favorite actors based on acting abilities and range. Michael Emerson is now one of my favorite actors!
