Tangled Up In Wires

Of all the pairings on Lost, the best is Terry O’Quinn as John Locke/Smokey and Michael Emerson as Benjamin Linus. Fans that will be sad to see two go their separate ways when the show ends need not fret another moment! From TV Guide:

Terry O’Quinn, who plays Locke/Smoke Monster, tells me he is shopping around a bible for a TNT-type show that would pair him back up with his real-life chum and on-screen foe, Michael Emerson (Ben) – as suburban hit men juggling family issues. Though Terry asked me not to spill show specifics, he has spoken with Lost creator J.J. Abrams about the project and says, “I really hope this works out because Michael would be in his prime in this. We’d play kind of awkward partners.”

“It’s very sweet of him,” says Michael. “I’m all in favor of it. Any reason to work with Terry again.”

I would watch that show endlessly. This is a story we’ll be following closely.
