Thrusty Thursday: Michael Emerson

I saw an ad for Person of Interest during last weekend's extremely depressing Patriots game, and it reminded me of one of my favorite head-scratch crushes of all time—foxy Napoleonic a-hole Ben Linus from Lost. Sure, I wanted to bang Sayid, but Ben always stuck in my brain like a splinter, well after the biceps faded with the credits.

I bet the actor who played Ben is sick of people pointing at him and shouting, "Hey, it's Ben Linus!" so I'll be respectful and call him Michael Emerson, since that's his name.

And there he was with Ken Leung, a foxy bonus two-for-one! Watch where you stick that bamboo chute, Emerson.

Here's the teaser for Person of Interest (from J.J. Abrams, the creator of Lost):

Thrusty Thursday: Ken Leung

Best known as Miles from Lost, I've had Ken Leung on the brain. Or rather, my erotica-writing alter ego has. If I ever wrap up my latest romance proposal and current edits, she gets to work on her ridiculous "Stanford Prison Experiment meets Survivor" manuscript, the one that involves funky POV and seven main characters in a weird battle royale psychological mindfuck, and much boinking, predictably. Her current favorite of those seven main characters is Pike, a surly half-Korean army medic from Detroit with Ken Leung's face. Thanks, Ken! What would us writers do without you poor unsuspecting actors and actresses lending us your bits and pieces? Here's a bit of Ken as Miles, showcasing a taste of that patented snark he's so damn good at:
