After 26 Years of Marriage, Carrie Preston and Michael Emerson Face Off on ‘Elsbeth’: ‘It’s Like a Collision of Universes’
Married couple Carrie Preston and Michael Emerson on teaming up for a third time on-screen as he joins her CBS show "Elsbeth" in a recurring role.
Carrie Preston and Michael Emerson met 30 years ago during a production of “Hamlet” at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival — she played Ophelia; he was Guildenstern — and they married in 1998. Since then, they’ve acted opposite one another a few times: Preston made a guest appearance on “Lost,” playing the mother of Emerson’s character in a flashback and she also recurred as his fiancée on “Person of Interest.” “Listen, I don’t see him in my marriage,” Preston says, referring to the long hours required to play the title character of a procedural, as she and Emerson log on to Zoom with Variety from their home in New York City.
