And to that I always wondered what direction the show would have went in if it wasn’t for Michael Emerson’s brilliant portrayal of Benjamin Linus, leader of the Others.

And to think the writers never intended for Emerson to take on such a big role in the beginning. It was because of his amazing work as “Henry Gale” coupled with the audiences’ strong response towards the character that allowed Emerson to become one of the most iconic villains of all time.

While I do think Emerson has done a great job throughout his time on the show I really feel his best work was in Season 2 when he was the presumed “Henry Gale”. The look he flashed at Sayid after Sayid had just got done explaining to him how they found the real Henry Gale was priceless. He was just as great in the Season 2 finale when he uttered the now infamous phrase “We’re the good guys Michael”. Brilliant writing, brilliant acting. It’s because of Emerson that Season 2 will always be my favorite. That and the additions of Desmond and Mr. Eko as well.

Ya know, he may be one of the most modest actors out there…always seems like the recognition he receives for his superior acting gives him such a happy surprise. I think I enjoy his acting more, knowing that he appears to be such a decent person in ‘real’ life.

I really hope he gets the win, he should have got for his work on season 3 as well. so many chilling/creepy/sinister Ben scenes back then. Emersons work has only gotten better as the show has progressed, and I feel comfortable saying hes the best actor on the show.

He’ll prolly do some high profile stage work for a while, maybe a take a break when the show’s over. Spend some time with wifey.

Before I started watching, whenever I would hear “Lost,” an image of Michael Emerson as Ben Linus would come to mind. I think that says a lot. Here’s to hoping he wins this time.

I can’t imagine what Lost would be like without Ben, period.

I’m pulling for him in this category. I couldn’t imagine anyone else in Ben Linus’s shoes. Emerson brings a tremendous deviousness with a hint of warmth to the character. In another actor’s shoes, the role might come off as vaudevillian.

Michael Emmerson is a great actor, and deserves all the credit he gets. I’m glad that I’ve had the opportunity to see him rock Ben Linus.
