When it comes to mysterious characters, no one holds a candle to Michael Emerson's devious Ben Linus on ABC's Lost.
While Wednesday's season finale hints at the undoing of the fateful Oceanic Airlines crash and everything that followed, Emerson spills a few details that might surprise fans a€” including information on the elusive Jacob.
Going mano-a-mano with Benjamin Linus "I like Ben the way he's been imagined all along, and I don't think his character is going to alter much. But I do expect that new challenges will be thrown at him in Season 6. I have a feeling that we're going to have a shake-up up in the landscape of the show and the set of problems that the characters are faced with. New alliances and new missions are going to evolve."

Those eyes, that voice... "With every character I play, I have to think about how they live in their bodies and how they speak. I thought Ben needed a quality and it's a quality that's non-committal, a little bit flat, clinical and cool. He is in a cool palette where other characters are much warmer. That's definitely what sets him apart."
Enough is enough. Who is Jacob? "When you talk about someone like Jacob, the much awaited secret power behind the curtain, I'm not sure you even need a Jacob so much as you feel his presence. There's going to be a number of characters who's presence will be felt in the finale, who have by virtue of their power the ability to change the course of events."
Making friends with the enemy "Even though I'm at odds with most of the characters on-screen, I have a really good relationship with my castmates. Because I spend most of my screen time with Terry O'Quinn, he and I hang out quite a lot and we get along famously. He and I are of a similar age and we have similar philosophies about the craft of acting and we approach the work the same. We both have similar senses of humor and a similar sense of both the seriousness and the fun of what we do, so I'm always happy spending time with him.

Ben and Juliet's unrequited love saga "Elizabeth Mitchell and I are Lost classmates. We were the ones who were freshman when everyone else was a sophomore. I will be forever linked to her that way. I like the way she works. She's a theater actress, and we always have a good time and a lot of crackle in our scenes."
Lost's ultimate ending, May 2010 "I feel a great sense of anticipation, but just like everyone else, I'm just so curious to see what it's going to be. How are they going to do it, and how can they do it in 17 hours? They know how the series ends. They have an outline in their minds, but the exact sequence of events, the trail of dialogue that leads us there, the details of it and who does what to whom, will be worked out during the course of the season. But yes, they know how it ends.
