I really am AMAZED that what started out as some kidding-around on the set of LOST has turned into a network TV reality! I’m still reeling from this sudden turn of events. I’m an actor who has never even succeeded in testing for a pilot and here I find myself involved in a project custom-built for Terry and me! Can’t tell you how thrilling it is to be part of the Bad Robot family and enter into this exciting collaboration with Warner Brothers and NBC! Have we ARRIVED or what?! But best of all will be that day when Terry and I show up on the set of a brand new show, look around, shrug our shoulders and say “Let’s get started!” My fingers are crossed! (Did I use enough exclamation points? ha!)
Michael Emerson, in an email to Jeff Jensen about his new show (via fuckyeahlost)
MERRY EMERQUINN!
This is a Michael Emerson/Terry O’Quinn new show getting pick-up celebration post.
PARTY TIME!
That Michael Emerson/Terry O'Quinn show? It's actually happening.
I do believe it’s time for us to get very excited.
THIS I like though.
Not gonna lie, this made me laugh pretty hard.
(thanks to unheardthoughtx and her lucky dashboard!)
Please, God Jacob, let this happen.
J.J. Abrams is Pitching the John Locke and Ben Linus Show
J.J. Abrams is one busy man. Fresh off the news that Alcatraz landed at FOX and Person of Interest found a home at CBS comes news that he is now pitching – are you ready for this LOST fans? – a comedic drama starring Michael Emerson and Terry O’Quinn (LOST‘s Ben Linus and John Locke) as former black-ops agents. The shows working title is Odd Jobs.
Just doin’ my job, ma’am.
*tips hat*
Michael Emerson answers questions; remains fabulous while doing so.
Q: Is it true that Matthew Fox was the only actor on set who knew the ending to the show?
Michael Emerson: People always thought that Matthew knew the ending, but I’m not so sure. He could’ve been making it all up. How will we ever know if he knew the ending unless he made a recording on a tape recorder, dated it and sealed it in a safety deposit box to open after we finished filming? We will never know the truth.
Q: How do Lost fans react when they see you in the street?
Michael Emerson: It’s a mixed reaction really. Some people can’t distinguish me from the role, so I would often be shouted at in Hawaii. People would cross the street in Waikiki to tell me that they stopped watching the show because they can’t stand me. But I enjoy it. It’s fun to be a villain.
