《迷失》迈克尔-埃默森访谈节目

Youwere like, er, the thing on Lost. You didn’t know that was gonna bea big show. They hired Jane. What happened?

Ihave to do since I’ve been a guest player. And so I thought thiswas another in a long line of such parts. And I thought it was gonnabe three episodes. So I packed, you know, a small bag to go to theHawaii islands in the winter time and I said, “Honey, I will beback shortly.” And then, they…

Michael,are you married?

Yes.

Isee. I have said that and there was no one in the room. So you goover there. You do the what you think is like a one shot deal, andthen what happens?

Hum,it's, it’s a character actor’s dream. You make yourselfevidently, I made myself invaluable in some way. And I passed theaudition and they got me around for another four seasons.

Andbeyond just regular in the show, you made quite an impact not onlywith the show, but for yourself, dude, didn’t you?

Peoplesingle respond to the character, and not… Now of course care forwhich you wish for, coz now I’m not sure that I can never leave itfully behind. You know you care everything like that around.

Andeven genius kind of a guy?

Well,he had. That was one of the things he was. But I’m not sure exactlyhow to characterize him. I mean you’re getting in some funnysituation with respect to your character. I have had people come upto me, and excited fans, and they've introduced me to their childrenwhom they have named after my character.

Really?

Andyou think, well, I suppose that in honor, but which part of what mycharacter was are you aspiring to, I kind of, a mucky availing set ofsurvival skills or?

Whatdo you tell the child later about the origin of the name?

Right?And you don’t know what to say with these people. I mean whensomeone’s holding their sleeping infant in front of me, you don’tknow whether to bless it or touch it with your forehead or… What'sused to be done in that situation?

I’mnot sure. That never happens to me.
