Michael Emerson

Fair Game
The World

Michael Emerson is an actor who began his career in theater, but has since made his name playing some of the creepiest villains in recent memory. He won an Emmy for playing a serial killer on The Practice, and starred as the deranged Zep Hindle in the original Saw movie. He’s best known for his role as Ben Linus, the sinister, manipulative leader of the Others on the ABC series Lost.

In addition, Jeff Curtin, leader of the band Previously On Lost, talks to Faith about the group’s music, which is inspired entirely by the ABC television show Lost. You can listen to the song here that Jeff wrote specifically for Michael’s appearance on Fair Game.
