As a long-time fan of Carrie Preston and her captivating performances, particularly as Elsbeth Tascioni, I can hardly contain my excitement about the upcoming guest appearance by none other than Michael Emerson! The prospect of seeing these two talented actors share the screen is truly a dream come true for fans like me.
Enthusiasts of “Elsbeth” have a long-awaited treat coming their way! Discover the role that Michael Emerson will be portraying in the popular CBS show!
Over the years, I’ve been a familiar sight on television shows, typically taking on recurring guest spots. With my charming wit and versatile abilities, I’ve managed to garner some impressive recognition. Among the roles I’ve held dear are Arlene in True Blood and Polly on Claws. As a fan of my own work, I can confidently say that I’m proud of the journey so far!
Preston is best known for her portrayal of Elsbeth Tascioni, a peculiar lawyer character in the series “The Good Wife” and its offshoot “The Good Fight.” Her performance earned her critical acclaim and she won an Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama.
She’s now moved Elsbeth into her own show, where the lawyer assists the NYPD with her distinct approach to solving murders. This series stands out as it is classified as a “howdunnit,” meaning viewers know who the killer is from the start. Additionally, it boasts an impressive roster of guest stars, often playing the murderers themselves. This trend continues in Season 2, as the premiere featured Nathan Lane as an opera enthusiast driven to extremes by disruptive individuals during his performances. Future episodes will feature Vanessa Williams and Rob Riggle among their guests.
Who do Elsbeth fans want to see on the show?
Among the guest stars, there’s one particular character that fans are eagerly anticipating: Michael Emerson. Known for his Emmy-winning performance as Benjamin Linus on Lost, this TV veteran has also been seen in shows like Person of Interest and Evil, a series produced by Robert and Michelle King, who are also the creators of Elsbeth.
Fans appreciate Emerson’s captivating performances, but the true excitement stems from the fact that he and Preston have been married since 1998. Watching these real-life partners act together on screen adds an extra layer of enjoyment for fans.
Welp, the prayers are answered as we know who Emerson is playing on Elsbeth!
Who does Michael Emerson play on Elsbeth?
It was reported by TVLine that Emerson will not just be making a single appearance on Elsbeth, but instead he’ll be playing Judge Milton Crawford for multiple episodes. This character is described as an aristocratic, somewhat pretentious and spectacled man from a long line of New England public servants who believes his position in the nation’s elite to be a matter of birthright. Emerson will first appear on the episode airing on December 12th.
As a gamer, I’ve collaborated with Emerson in the past, most memorably when I played her love interest on Person of Interest. I’d chatted about the prospect of Emerson joining us, and crossing my fingers it wouldn’t be as a villain, but more like a familiar presence.
In a more simplified manner: Emerson appears perfect for portraying a haughty character who’s rattled by Elsbeth’s shenanigans. Given that he’s a judge, he might come across cases similar to those handled by Elsbeth, although it’s amusing to speculate if he could be a killer. However, it seems more plausible for him to engage in witty banter with Elsbeth instead.
Indeed, viewers will now witness the on-screen reunion of real-life partners, adding an extra luster to the character of Elsbeth.
Elsbeth Season 2 airs Thursdays at 10/9c on CBS.
