Looks like Michael will appear in the first episode of the PBS miniseries. Michael plays John Winthrop:

Episode One, “A New Adam” ( October 11, 9-10pm ET on PBS ): The first hour of God in America explores the origins of America’s unique religious landscape—how the New World challenged and changed the faiths the first European settlers brought with them. In New Mexico, the spiritual rituals of the Pueblo Indians collided with the Catholic faith of Franciscan missionaries, ending in a bloody revolt. In New England, Puritan leader John Winthrop faced off against religious dissenters from within his own ranks. And a new message of spiritual rebirth from evangelical preachers like George  Whitefield swept through the American colonies, upending traditional religious authority and kindling a rebellious spirit that converged with the political upheaval of the American Revolution.

Best Supporting Actor nominee Michael Emerson gave PopcornBiz his predictions for the 2010 Primetime Emmy Awards:

Outstanding Drama Series
Breaking Bad, Dexter, The Good Wife, Lost, Mad Men, True Blood

Emerson’s Pick: “This is impossible to call. I have a sentimental favorite among them. But let me say, I’m really pleased that ‘Lost’ has been recognized in so many categories. That hasn’t happened since our first season. I’m proud we have this buoyant exit and so many of us will be there that night.”

“It’s a tough one. But the more we talk about it, the better I like ‘Lost’s’ chances. If that principle is true, I think ‘Lost’ has good a chance as any.”

Outstanding Comedy Series
Curb Your Enthusiasm, Modern Family, Glee, Nurse Jackie, The Office,
30 Rock

Emerson’s Pick: “I have a soft spot in my heart for ‘Nurse Jackie.’ Something about the off-beat chemistry of that show. I really like it. I am sure the people that handicap these things think I’m crazy. But there you have it.”

Outstanding Lead Actor In A Drama Series
Jon Hamm (Mad Men)
, Kyle Chandler (Friday Night Lights), 
Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad), 
Hugh Laurie (House), 
Michael C. Hall (Dexter), 
Matthew Fox (Lost)

Emerson’s Pick: “Matthew’s had an extraordinary run on the show, but I thought his game was of a very high order this last season.” Though he calls Chandler “a stellar talent,” Emerson is still blown away by Fox’s farewell: ”Talk about a framing device. Years ago his eye opened and years later it closes. And in that blink is an entire universe. That’s so great.”

If you are a fan of NBC’s “The Office” then you are likely aware of Steve Carell’s departure next year. Michael Emerson’s name has been mentioned on quite a few lists of possible replacements for Steve Carell. Here’s Emerson’s response, extracted from a recent interview with USA TODAY:

I’ve seen it mentioned online, but I don’t take it very seriously. No industry person has talked to me. And plus, who wants to follow Steve Carell in that part? The opportunity for failure or embarrassment is so high that even if we lived in an insane universe where I actually got offered such a thing, I don’t know if you’d say yes to that.

Michael also talked about his new project with Terry O’Quinn:

There’s ongoing buzz that you and Terry O’Quinn would like to do a project together. Is there any update on that? Is Terry the cast member you’ve kept in touch with the most?

I sure do stay in touch with Terry. There are some ideas being batted around in Hollywood where things move slowly and eccentrically, so I don’t know if anything will come from it, but I do know that some serious writers are playing around with ideas.

Whether it will ever see the light of day or not, I’m not sure. It would be a ways off in the future, but I would jump at the chance to do another show with Terry. We get along famously, and he’s about as good a scene partner as an actor will ever have.

What’s your next project?

The next time the public sees me is probably in a PBS series in October called God in America. I play a Puritan. It’s a three-or four-night series. It’s a documentary, but it also has period dramatizations.
