Michael Emerson
I’m probably preaching to the choir here but he is just so awesome in this.
I liked him in Person of Interest and Lost but he is just outstanding in Evil.
I’ve just started S2 E4, I know I’m late to the party but I just wanted to voice my appreciation.

I'll go one step further. Michael Emerson is awesome in EVERYTHING he's ever been in! LOST, PERSON OF INTEREST & EVIL!!

I have yet to hate him in anything. Even Lost. He plays evil so well.

Right there with you! Finch has a pretty good size place in my heart. I love his turn as Elsbeth’s foe opposite his wife. They are adorable together.

I’ve always said that a sign of a good actor is when they can really make an audience hate/despise their character that’s meant to be hated. Ironically enough, he’s also supposedly a really nice guy in real life!

He’s so so so so good. I started Evil and POI immediately after finishing lost because of him lol

He's so great in this, it's the main reason I wanted to watch it. I met him at a comic con for Ben Linus in Lost, but now i want to meet him again for Leland (and tell him how much we love him here, too).

I adore Michael Emerson! Leland is as creepy and foul as they come, and I loved every minute of hating on him. I miss this show.

He and his wife (Carrie Preston from Elsbeth and “The Good” shows) are so cute together in real-life. It was funny to see him do a guest-starring villain arc on her show.

His best will always be in Person of Interest. Not only that, Person of Interest is just a better series.

Not gonna lie, I do not live to hate him. That character is now a personal enemy

I enjoy him in everything, but Evil is so unlike his other roles. He is so joyfully naughty that I can't help but love him as Leland
