Très longue interview de Michael Emerson

IESB.net a longuement interrogé Michael Emerson, à la fois sur Lost, la manière dont il a intégré la série mais aussi ses difficultés d'acteurs, l'impact de l'Emmy Award, etc. Et puis, au sujet de la saison 6, il révèle qu'un mystère autour de Ben ne devrait pas obtenir de réponse :

IESB: With all of the unresolved issues that have come up on the show, that the viewers are hoping they'll finally get to learn the answers to, is there any one thing that you were anxiously to learn the answer to yourself?

Michael: I have lots of little particular things. There's a mystery in Ben's backstory that I always thought we would get to explore dramatically, and now I believe we'll never go there. When Ben was a little boy, he was befriended by a little girl in the Dharma Initiative, and she gave him a carved wooden doll that he's kept all his life. I always thought, "Oh, we're going to find out what that was about. We're going to find out who that girl was and who she is now, and maybe something really interesting will be in there." And I think the writers probably thought that too, but now they're just not going to have time to get to it. I think that's going to be an unanswered mystery, forever.
