Ben Linus original didn't was planed as a main character, but ABC was so happy with his performance they made out of him a full time role. Jack also wasn't meant to be a role over six seasons. Original being played by Michael Keaton and being killed by the Monster after the Pilot episode. Kate sholud be the leader and main character, but because Lilly is canadian, it wasn't even clear if she could work outside of canada. So Jack became the main role of LOST.

After seeing this, I checked out the whole podcast episode. Excellent work, you really got Michael Emerson to go into places I didn't expect him to in an interview. I found what he said about his father's passing and the play he did around that time really touching. I believe the show he did that caused him to set aside dealing with the grief was Person of Interest, and it just feels terrible that the character he played in POI lost his father to Alzheimer's. I can imagine it being an emotional rollercoaster for him.

However, the sign of a great actor, 4 me at least, is when the actor can make u feel sorry for him, when he’s being harmed, when 4 months u wanted 2 strangle him. Michael did this for me when he played Ben. So much so, I was so excited to c that he was back on tv w/ playing another character on “Person of Interest”. I absolutely LOVED that show bc of of Michael & Jim, 2 extremely talented actors.

I bet we will see a reimagined version someday. Shows like battlestar galactica have a certain time cycle, even if its 20-30 years. The stories were SO compelling. They will love seeing current or undiscovered actors in these parts, even if its hard to imagine now. Theres Hurley's time as island protector. Theres an endless need for new protectors and candidates. Any protector gets tired of being immortal after 2000 years. It was an honor and a privilege to watch this amazing show. There were stories like Eko & Walt that were changed due to circumstances with the actors that can still be explored too. If the creators are still around, they can still be consulted an interviewed, and may have new ideas. Im still sad sun, jin, sayid, and jack had to die, but happy endings are not in vogue anymore.

There was nothing wrong with the ending of Lost. Certainly nothing that made watching six seasons a waste of time. The writing was brilliant, and fans really love these characters more than should be possible for a TV show. The connections, the set-ups and pay-offs between characters and episodes and seasons are such a rich, intricate tapestry, you could spend two decades unraveling it all. Lost is one of the greatest television shows ever made. A perfect storm of talented artists. The most beautiful soundtrack ever put to a series. Flawed, for sure, but lightning in a bottle.

I loved the ending. "Ben" got beat up so many times! More than any character? While he didn't go into the Church at the end, he had "some things to work out", and that was appropriate, in my opinion. Michael, I loved you in Person of Interest. It was a series that wasn't given the recognition it deserved and why Taraji P. Henson doesn't seem to be mentioned (in interviews and articles) for her role it it. Sad. Thanks for this video.

He is enchainting, at first he was so miserable and sad and i felt sorry for him, aftrr that we didnt know if we could trust him, and he was mystetious and it was attracting attention, then when we discovered we got decieved it was mind boggling, then we discovrred how smart he is and it was charisma attracting

@@ReallyFamous He wasn’t interested in conversation, & I had just left Albuquerque, where I had been taking care of my cousin with stage 4 breast cancer. I told him that I loved his portrayal of John Locke. We were stuck together in 1st class for 2 hours. He wasn’t very friendly, & I couldn’t stop crying. He was over me. Still, a pretty cool encounter.

I still laugh at how, during the final season, the folks who had been on the island became aware of their time on the island when they experienced some kind of "love connection", but for Ben Linus, it happened when he was getting the tar beat out of him!

13:55 I love that so much lol. Exactly how I feel lol I think people who hate lost hated it for not understanding it and that can be fixed by explaining not just the show to them but the philosophy that drives the show. Their minds could be changed. But I agree it would take a little bit of time. Best summery I’ve seen is 5 and a half hours long. Lol But it’s not the worst way to waste your time. The enrichment Lost can bring to you when you get what it’s going for and accept/appreciate it for what it is, that’s worth the time and effort.

@@captahab6370 except Sawyer jokes about how tall he is, before he is ever taken off the island. That may be why they had to remove him from the show, they couldn't show him staying the same age, but it is acknowledged in show that he grows on the island. Because he is not brought back once he leaves, until after the show is over.

He felt guilty 'bout everything he had done, I mean, he killed his own father...got his own daughter killed (unintentionally), he killed John Locke, ALL the Dharma people. among other awful things... After everyone was gone from the island, he presumably spent a lot of years with Hurley doing good on the island and making up for what he had done, but in The End, he still felt guilty...

Michael Emerson, as first Henry Gale, then Benjamin Linus in my opinion was the best actor on Lost. had Anthony Hopkins not been able to play the role of Hannibal Lechter, Michael could have. Lost is my all time favorite. i found it to be the perfect combination of ALL genres. sci-fi, drama, romance, and even some comedic moments. as a fan, if i was to see any of the cast members out in public nothing would thrill me more than to talk to them. but i'd be hesitant to approach them for the following reasons. maybe they don't wanna be bothered, and if i approached them they could be offended by the invasion of privacy and i can respect that. to say something Ben Linus might say, i'd want them to want to talk to me. also, and this might seem extreme, i've heard many stories where big name actors that played characters that were supposed to be nice, when approached by fans were anything BUT nice. in fact sometimes downright abusive. if this were to happen it would ruin my whole perception of them and the show. So, at the end of the day, unless they initiated contact with me, as hard as it may be I'd be inclined to acknowledge them then just leave them alone. at the very least i could tell my friends and family hey i got to see that person in real life and in my opinion that's a win in and of itself

I’m happy to say I can vouch for Michael in real life. He’s one of the nicest, most thoughtful people. A little reserved, maybe - so I’m not sure how he feels about being approached on the street - but something tells me he’d be very gracious and wouldn’t disappoint.
