Michael Emerson Biography

With his signature piercing voice, steely gaze, and wily demeanor, Michael Emerson captivated television audiences worldwide as the scene-stealing villain "Benjamin Linus" on the critically acclaimed fantasy-drama "Lost." His performance in the series earned him a Golden Globe nomination, four Emmy nominations, and an Emmy win for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series, underscoring his portrayal as one of the most compelling antagonists on television. As "Ben Linus," he became a fan favorite, contributing significantly to the show's success, including attracting 13.5 million viewers for its May 2010 series finale.

Currently, Michael Emerson stars as Harold Finch on CBS' hit show "Person of Interest." He plays a billionaire software-genius who designs a Machine for the government that is capable of detecting acts of terror before they can happen, by monitoring global communications through every cell phone, email, and surveillance camera. This role continues to showcase his ability to bring complex characters to life, resonating strongly with audiences.

Before achieving fame on "Lost," Emerson's journey was filled with unique challenges and creative endeavors. After college, he moved to New York City, where he initially struggled to find acting roles. During this time, he worked as a magazine illustrator, with his artwork featured in publications like The Boston Globe and The New York Times. His persistence in the arts led him to stage performances, eventually earning roles in productions such as "Othello" in Jacksonville, Florida. He honed his craft in regional theaters across the South before enrolling in the Alabama Shakespeare Company's MFA program. His breakthrough came with his Broadway debut in 1999 in "The Iceman Cometh," alongside actors like Kevin Spacey and Paul Giamatti. This debut marked the beginning of a series of successful roles in both television and film, including appearances in "Saw" and "The Legend of Zorro," as well as a critically acclaimed guest role on "The Practice," for which he won an Emmy Award.

Michael Emerson has consistently demonstrated a commitment to the arts and the community, supporting several charities such as Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and Gay Men's Health Crisis. His path to success in acting, marked by detours and perseverance, coupled with his support for important social causes, highlights a career not only built on talent but also on a strong sense of social responsibility. With humor and humility, he encourages audiences to pursue their dreams regardless of the challenges they may face.
