#43: Michael Emerson
Whilst it might seem like some actors in Hollywood have always found themselves in the spotlight, that isn’t always the case. Actor Michael Emerson might be an incredibly versatile and talented performer, but his story of success wasn’t a walk in the park.
Up until Emerson’s big break, he was working in Florida’s small-scale production scene in the 1990s. It wasn’t until he landed a breakthrough role in the television show, The Practice at age 46 that he truly made a name for himself in 2000. Since then, he has become largely associated with the tv show Lost.
