Michael Emerson To Join Wife Carrie Preston as a Recurring Star on ‘Elsbeth’


CBS announced that Emmy-winning actor Michael Emerson — husband of "Elsbeth" star Carrie Preston — will appear in a recurring role this season.

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. “Elsbeth,” from CBS Studios, stars Preston as Elsbeth Tascioni, “the astute but unconventional consent decree attorney working with the NYPD to catch New York’s most well-heeled murderers utilizing her unique point of view.” Pierce stars as her boss, Captain Wagner, while Carra Patterson plays detective-in-training Officer Kaya Blanke.
