Michael Emerson Interview

by Nikki on December 2nd, 2007

Michael Emerson chats about his role as Ben on Lost. He also reveals some insight into Season 4!

About Ben:

“Ben isn’t a villain, he’s just unknown. He’s been manipulative and occasionally violent, but we still don’t know what he’s up against,” he told TV Guide.

“I have played many villains, but only on TV. It’s a mystery to me because I don’t look like a villain. I don’t sound like one. But somewhere down the line someone decided that my mild-mannered exterior was the right delivery system for a wicked interior,” he explained.

Lost Season 4 - Both New and Old Characters:

“You will meet a bunch of new characters in Season 4, and you’re not going to know what to make of them. And in Lost, the characters who die aren’t gone forever. I can tell you that the fourth season is haunted by the characters of the past,” Emerson revealed.

Lost Season 4 - Violence:

“It’s violent. The first episodes have a lot of blood, sweat, tears, running in the jungle and beatings. Everything is in flux because no one has a community anymore. The castaways have abandoned their camp, the Others have been decimated and left their community. And now there’s this tremendous threat from outside,” the Lost actor added.
