Michael Emerson is a brilliant actor. I love when actors can act with their eyes, without saying a word-- like Helen Mirren in "The Cook The Thief..." ('disliked that movie...loved her performance in it though).
I would love to have seen Michael Emerson in Oscar Wilde's play "The Importance of being Ernest" or any Shakespeare play (especially the lead in Hamlet).
@valkur8... Ha! I was watching this clip--remembering that it was shot years before LOST...and around 2:28 I noticed the music and when I heard the trombone (?) slide down a minor third (or whatever interval makes that creepy sound), I said to myself "Oh my gosh--how prophetic! This sounds JUST like music from LOST!"
All the while I was thinking, "Wow--J.J. Abrams must have seen Emerson in this role and made note of the music to use in Lost." You overdubbed Lost music?
@mecagoenboba When I first saw this scene, and how Michael Emerson was channeling the spirit of Ben from LOST through his acting of William Hinks. All I could think of was "dammit, where is Michael Giacchino's score! It would fit perfectly here." So I searched for a piece of music that fit and "Bon Voyage Traitor", used during the season 2 finale, I thought fit the best.
@valkur8 Wow, that's pretty creative. I thought it was random to give it a flavor of LOST since now everyone knows who Emerson is. But Giacchino's music is incredible. It just covers everything. What a beautiful mind. Makes me grateful that I can hear. BTW, Emerson creeped me out so much when he was in The Practice. If it weren't for LOST and all the interviews, I would still get creeped out by him. He was also in an episode of Law and Order SVU, playing the bad guy, again.Thanks 4 the response!

This isn´t the original music. Doesn´t fit. A little bit over the top

That's an example of how the right theme music in the background can really spice up the suspense and excitement in a particular scene.
