"Evil," "Person of Interest" and "Lost" alum Michael Emerson is set to join his real-life wife Carrie Preston on "Elsbeth."

None other than Lost and Evil star Michael Emerson – a.k.a. Carrie Preston's real-life husband – has joined the cast for Season 2, and I'm reminded of what showrunner Jonathan Tolins told us about casting guest stars.

Emerson ( The Practice, Lost) joins the series as a foil to his wife’s Elsbeth Tascioni, in which he 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.
