Here's a new thread that I would like all of you to post the questions you 'd want me to ask Michael.
Those of you who already posted the questions, could you repost them? I'd like to find them easily.
Thanks.

Sweet!
As a child, would you try to imitate your favorite actors' performances from T.V shows, movies, or theater and try to pretend to be their character or make up your own skits? Did you feel that you'd love to live in the world of make believe?
When you first began majoring in theatre, what gave you the confidence to perform and show emotion in front of people?
What encouraged you to continue to pursue your dream of becoming a professional actor during the times it may have seemed impossible to acheive?
Why do you think you weren't successful at being offered roles when you first came to New York City? You said, "I don't think I had that much to offer the world of the theater when I was 21...?" What do you think you needed?
What is your favorite line that you've spoken, playing a character?
Which role was the most challenging for you, as far as trying to discover the character?
What is your favorite character costume you've worn?
Would you and your wife like to play a couple in a play or film or would that be challenging or a little weird?
What is your favortie movie and play?
Do you believe in theatre superstitions?
When you're performing in a play and the audience laughs at something you said or did, how do you resist smiling, yourself?
As actors, how do you and your wife deal with getting up before dawn to go to work on a set? What do you tell yourselves?
How many hours a day did you work, reading for the audiobooks? Were the different voices you narrated done in one take or were they recorded seperately and then edited together later on?
Do you prefer acting to directing? Have you thought about directing a play or movie in the future or writing a screenplay?
What do you do in your trailer while you wait to be called for your scenes? Reherse, relax, play games?
What was your favorite subject matter to draw (buildings, landscape, people, ect.) and which were you best at drawing?
How was your visit to Spain and London? Did you go sight-seeing?
Are you a polyglot? Can you speak Spanish and have you been learning Hawaiian?
I loved your portrayal of William Hinks! Very creepy, yet sometimes funny. What did you say when you won your Emmy in 2001?
After you won your Emmy you said you and your wife, "...flew home to New York and I had the Emmy in my lap -- which will never happen again in the history of aviation." Why? What happened?
Thank you so much! I admire your work as well as how kind you are to people.

Does anyone know where the post is from the last time he answered questions from the board? I didn't find it in "Projects and Responses from Michael" and I want to make sure I'm not repeating questions.

Thank you very much! I hope you haven't written the letter yet, because I keep editing my questions.
No one else has any questions for him?

Just continue editing your questions. I'll let you know when I start typing the letter.
BTW folks, if you are shy, but have lots of questions, this your chance to ask them. I will even credit you as the person asking the question if you so desire.

OK, Stephanie, is there any way that you want to differentiate yourself from Steph Ross? Are you in the US? Last name? You don't have to, if you don't want to. I may ask him to give an autographed photo.

No problem, I live in the US.
I haven't seen the "Lost" Season 3 special features, but want to know from someone who has, whether they showed what Michael Emerson does in his trailer while he's waiting to be called for his scenes. (some actors reherse their scenes, some relax and play games ) If not, I'd like to add it to my list of questions.

Here are my questions: - Of all the characters in Television and Movies that you played (I am excluding Theatre, as very few of us have had the honor of seeing you performing live), which one do you identify with the most?
- Now, could you answer the same for your theatre work?
