Maybe we should pm it to you. That way no one will get any ideas on how to top the other.

Oh, for the words to participate...
But, as some guy may once have said;
"There's beggary in the love that can be reckoned..."

Here it is: What Michael Emerson means to me. I love the world of theatre. I love how you can watch for an hour or more and get totally lost and not think about anything else, but what is enfolding in front of our eyes. All our sorrows, troubles, anxieties are gone while immersed in the fantasy that is transpiring in front of us. Michael Emerson belongs that that world: The world of the theatre--the enchanting world where you can get lost and forget your troubles. I admire how he makes his profession look so easy. I used to act in local theatre, and I can attest that it is not easy to convince the world that you are the person you are impersonating. It's not easy to remember your lines. It's not easy, at times, to make yourself vulnerable in front of so many people. Furthermore, Michael is able to take a despicable character and still instill a bit of humanity into that character so that the audience sees him as a human being. That’s magic, as far as I am concerned. I admire Michael for reciting words that were written down on the script and give me shivers as he interprets those words and delivers them to the audience. I admire him to be able to make all his characters distinguishable from each other. It is Michael Emerson who is delivering those lines, but it is his character that I am seeing. I've seen a number of different movies and TV shows that he was on, and I swear there is something physically different about each character he portrayed. He has the ability to make them just a bit different physically, to make them sound differently, to make them have a different personality. I have not yet seen him in legitimate theatre, but I definitely will make an effort to see him in a play next time he will be in one. Legitimate theatre has an electrifying experience to it. I bet Michael can make great magic there. I love Michael’s voice. It is soothing-type of voice, a voice that can send shivers down my spine. His voice can scare me if the script calls him to be scary. He knows how to give just the right inflection. I love his laughter. He truly enjoys laughing. He has the most genuine smile. His mild-mannered upbringing is translucent when he is interacting with either his fans or a TV personality who is interviewing him. But it is his laughter that conjectures a mischievous boy who is enjoying the ride that he was put on. I love his eyes. I have not seen any bluer and beautifully expressive eyes such as his. So, in essence, I admire Michael Emerson the actor. by Edith aka esbaker |
