ELSBETH Adds Michael Emerson as a New Recurring Foe

Has Elsbeth (Carrie Preston) finally met her match?

Michael Emerson—Preston’s real-life husband—has joined the cast of ELSBETH in a recurring role, it was announced at New York Comic Con.

Emerson will play Judge Milton Crawford, a “haughty, soft-spoken and bespectacled man from an old New England family of public servants who sees his place in the nation’s elite as a birthright.” His first episode will air Thursday, December 12 (at 10/9c).

ELSBETH showrunner Jonathan Tolins previously teased the character to Give Me My Remote: “There’s another plot which will start being established a little later in the season where we give Elsbeth, in a way, a Professor Moriarty. The[re is a] character who is not brought down as easily as most of her murder suspects.”

Emerson just wrapped up a four-season run of EVIL. His previous TV credits include starring roles on LOST and PERSON OF INTEREST, plus guest notable arcs on THE PRACTICE and ARROW.

ELSBETH, Thursdays, 10/9c, CBS
