Michael Emerson To Join Wife Carrie Preston as a Recurring Star on ‘Elsbeth’
variety.comMichael Schneider Variety Editor at Large Things are getting personal on the set of CBS’ “Elsbeth.” The Eye network was set to announce Sunday that Emmy-winning actor Michael Emerson — the husband of “Elsbeth” star Carrie Preston — will join the show in a recurring role this season.
The news was scheduled to be revealed during the “Elsbeth” panel at New York Comic-Con, as moderated by series guest star Laura Benanti.
As announced during the panel, Emerson will join in a recurring role starting with the show’s Dec. 12 episode. The “Lost” and “Person of Interest” star will appear as Judge Milton Crawford, described as a “haughty, soft-spoken and bespectacled man from an old New England family of public servants who sees his place in the nation’s elite as a birthright.” He’ll serve as a foil to Elsbeth Tascioni, the character played by Preston.
The couple has appeared on camera before in projects including “Person of Interest.” And there’s another reason it all made sense: Emerson most recently starred on the series “Evil,” from Robert and Michelle King.
