One of my friends is actually freaked out by the thought of meeting Michael Emerson. We ran into him at the gym once and after I said "Hi" I turned around to introduce my friend, a Lost fan, only to find that he had actually slunk away so he wouldn't have to meet him. When I told him about seeing Michael on the street another time, he told me I should have run away! He's *that* creepy and scary on Lost.
But when I went to visit my friend Jimmy at the bar he works at a few nights ago and found myself sitting next to his friend Michael at the bar, I was struck again by how completely opposite Ben Linus he is... just totally nice and unassuming and friendly. He's really low-key and I kind of hated to put him on the spot asking him to sign a bear in a restaurant like that, but, he's heading back to Hawaii soon and I didn't know when I'd have another chance, so, I bit the bullet and asked. And he could *not* have been nicer about it. Was totally happy to sign and take a picture... I was so psyched! And I *think* I was quiet and quick enough about it that Jimmy didn't even get mad at me for bugging his friend. ;)
