I think I would have to choose Michael, as appealing as evil genius - awesome hotness Ben is, I'd like to just have the guy who likes to float in the inner tube doing the crossword at the end of the day.

I definitely vote for Ben. Michael Emerson is a genius, an awesome thespian, a lovely and sweet man, he is handsome and he dresses so cool. But he is a real person and I don't know him. I am a veteran Star Trek fan and I've met lots of ST actors and I try carefully to split the actor from the character. The disappointment to see that the character you love is portrayed by a jerk is very hard to swallow (Last May I had a major disappointment, it ruined my whole convention!) So, I am sure that Michael is a sweet and caring gentleman but it's Ben Linus I've fallen in love with: he seems to be able to reach my lowest instincts and I like that, since I am a very calm, pretty nice and controlled woman. Michael Emerson makes think of smiles, friendly hugs and witty conversations. Ben Linus makes me want to push him against the wall and have wild sex!  How so? Go figure! |

Apart from the wild sex bit - I'm not sexually attracted to Michael, Ben or Henry. For me, as I want to be a psychologist, Ben is extremely intriguing due to the intense character study you can pull out from him. Ben's character is what drew me to this forum in the first place. |

Linusblanket, I totally agree. Your words are my words. We don't know him really, only that he's quiet, sweet, and polite. And that's it. Because of this, I vote for Ben, the character.

The more I learn about Michael, the more I love him. Hands down. He is the perfect man, as far as I can see (but please don't tell my boyfriend that! ;D )
I can't say I really love Ben, but he is by far the most intriguing, the best-written and the best-acted character in the whole show. Of course, Ben is the reason I discovered Michael, so I have to give him serious props for that.
Henry wasn't terribly interesting to me, but then season 2 wasn't one of my favorite seasons so that may be the reason why. More than anything, I felt physical pain when I watched Henry's story unfold. So I vote:
1. Michael
2. Ben
3. Henry

More than anything, I felt physical pain when I watched Henry's story unfold. The same here. During the scene of torture and beatings (to Henry) I couldn't even look at the screen and felt physical pain in my stomach. I dislike violence, even if I know it's fictional.  |

Okay, if I had to answer this question last year, I probably would've said Michael. Now, I would definitely say Ben. I love emotionally tortured nerds.

I gotta say Michael. Ben/Henry have definately been my favs on lost but when I watch Michael on the view I fell in love and still can't get enough. So it was Michael the man who got my attention. Now of course I watch Michael play Ben and love but I see Michael. ya know what I mean...? I can watch MIchael on anything and just love him. Yeah, this guy!  |

Oh my life this is a difficult poll.
I find myself thinking about Ben more than I do Michael, a LOT more in fact. It was Ben who I fell for but I love Michael for all the reasons already listed. However it's Ben who stirs me up no end ,so he gets my vote.It is a close call though.
