Michael graduated from the prestigious Professional Actor Training M. F. A. program at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival in 1995.
Graduate of Drake University, where he earned a degree in Theater Arts.
On "Lost" (2004), he played Ben Linus, the son of Roger Linus, played by Jon Gries, who is actually 3 years the junior of Emerson. The age difference is explicable because Roger is first seen in flashbacks to Ben's birth and childhood. Ben's mother was played by Carrie Preston, who in addition to being (like Gries) about the same age as Emerson, is also his real-life wife.
Worked as a freelance illustrator for publications like The Boston Globe and The New York Times.
Is a stage actor who makes occasional films.
