‘lost’ Villain Speaks About Season 4

August 29, 2008

Michael Emerson has made a living out of playing evil. (In)famous for portraying the notorious Ben Linus on Lost, Emerson ranks as one of today’s most terrifying baddies that haunt the subconscious of television audiences. However, the 53-year old actor who breathes life to the de facto head of the Others, contends that there may be much more to his Lost persona than just pure villainy.



“Ben isnt a villain, hes just unknown,” Emerson told TV Guide. “Hes been manipulative and occasionally violent, but we still dont know what hes up against.”



“I have played many villains, but only on TV,” the actor also admitted. “Its a mystery to me because I dont look like a villain. I dont sound like one. But somewhere down the line someone decided that my mild-mannered exterior was the right delivery system for a wicked interior,” Emerson added dryly.

In the past, Emerson essayed the character of Zep Hindle in 2004’s Saw, as well as William Hinks on the legal television drama, The Practice. He won an Emmy as Outstanding Guest Actor for his performance in the latter.



Emerson offered a preview of what fans can expect to enjoy when Lost returns with its fourth season come February.



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

Aside from possible resurrections among the Lost folk, Emerson also disclosed that the coming new season will not be for the weak of heart and stomach.

“Its violent,” Emerson declared. “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 theres this tremendous threat from outside.”
