Thanks to @ProgGrrl for the heads up.
“Lost” star Michael Emerson won an Emmy for his work as bad guy Ben Linus on the hit series — but when “Extra” talked to him, he had vampires on the brain!
Emerson’s wife, Carrie Preston, stars as Arlene Fowler on “True Blood” — and guest-starred as Michael’s mother in a “Lost” flashback. Emerson told “Extra” that he’d like to return the favor on “True Blood”! “I think it would be fun if I got to play her father,” Michael said of guest-starring on the hit HBO series.
Michael continued, “I would go on any Alan Ball show to do just about anything. I will be the face in the window, I will be the cab driver… I don’t want to be a vampire.”
Preston chimed in, saying, “I think you should be a like shape shifter or something.” Michael replied, “I think I should just be a funny human.”
While Emerson is famous for his evil-minded characters, Carrie thinks he should try playing a good guy. “Maybe he should not be a bad character at all… maybe he should be a good guy.”
Michael coyly responded, “Perhaps I could be bitten in a strange place,” to which Carrie replied, laughing, “That’s for later!”

I don’t like that this article makes it sound like Michael’s begging to be on TB when anyone who watched the videos can tell that its the interviewers asking questions to lead him to these responses.
Just saying. I’d love to see Michael in True Blood.
