In this article with various entertainment blurbs, this one has one about Michael in the middle of it. From www.nationalledger.com/artman/publish/article_272613735.shtml
FOUND: ABC's "Lost" seemed to have stumbled earlier in the season when fans were inundated with a number of unanswered questions, but star Michael Emerson, who plays Ben, the leader of the Others, believes they're back on track after the recent finale that won critical kudos.
"I would say that 'Lost' is a stronger show right now than it's ever been. I think it's more gripping, it's certainly more grown up, it's a really dark story now, and it has a lot of layers," he claims. "I think the more casual viewers from the first season may have fallen away, but I think the core audience, which may be fewer in number, is much greater in passion. I would be hard pressed to name a show that has a more avid following than 'Lost.'"
Of course, living up to a lot of hype is never easy. "I think the show was much heralded when it opened, and part of that was the novelty of something new, and it's inevitable that that fades away a little bit, because there's always some new candy each season to distract us."
With things looking up for season four, Emerson says he's just enjoying being back home in New York for a brief hiatus. "My wife [Carrie Preston] is a fairly busy actress, and she's got herself booked up to the neck for the summer. I think what I might do is follow her around and hold her coat. It would be a chance for us to spend some time together."

(but doesn't smoke or drink and only swears when he goes home to Ireland where everyone swears) and has a sexy accent and everything too. I'm extremely proud of him and proud of me for picking such a great guy to be my husband.
