this is actually a fake because the character of hugo wasn't created untill jorge garcia came and auditioned for the part of sawyer, but is great anyway!!!
Rin hate to break it to ya but he auditioned for the part of Hurley... the writers however didnt write any of hurleys lines, so they had him read off some of sawyers... Jorge Garcia - Lostpedia - The Lost Encyclopedia its in the trivia section.
I wont argu with you. cant say i am sure just what i read... and it was that the character wasnt created from the begining... so if the part was created for garcia then how could it be that emerson is auditioning for it?
Rin what? no... thats not what I meant... hurley was always made... he wasnt created for gaarcia.. he just didnt have any line yet... anyone could go audition for it... I also read that garcia was the first to be casted on lost.
He might be one of those people that look different as they age, but not necessarily older. Like if u look up a pic in his 20s I bet he looks like a different person lol
@@lindsredding8970 I don't get why people hate him. Ben Linus is one of the best characters ever written/acted imo. He's my number one reason to rewatch Lost. Michael Emerson is great everywhere else I've seen him too.
Michael Emerson is amazing, so much fun and good performances in the same guy! one huge package of kick ass acting and niceness (if that is actually a word! LOL)
With all due respect, it's completely fake. That's the whole point of the joke, they made the video specifically for that event. Michael Emerson never auditioned for Lost until before the beginning of the second season, he was not present at the casting for the pilot, they brought him in specifically to audition for the Linus guest role.
He rocks. I had no idea he was 55 but he is so versatile--he can play any part. If you want to see him play another sinister role check out the episodes he did as a serial killer in the Practice (Six episodes 2000-2001. I think he's much better in Lost but his acting in the Practice was fantastic. I really wanted the idea of him and Terry O'Quinn playing hit-men living in the suburbs to pan out XD.
@Attox The button and the Swan wasn't really explained. The drilling caused a hole in the EM-field of the island? Ok! But how did they manage to build the Swan in a few seconds? What role did the atombomb play? If the bomb sealed the hole, why do we need a swan station? Nope, they really lost the golden line somewhere after season3. They changed the script and everything went crazy and unexplainable. And by the ok, it is a sci-fi show, but every good sci-fi has its own explainable rules.
I was a Lost-lover, now I am a Lost-hater. After season3 (that's my opinion) they changed the script and tried to stretch the series like cheap cocaine. Originally the island was the limbo. After season3 they realized that too many people worked out the answer, then they changed the script radically and put the limbo thing into the last season. But this means every puzzle from S1 to S3 is obsolote now, for example the dharma and the button (which only makes sense with island=limbo)
@Attox Of course they died in the plane crash, till season 3, then they changed the script. Think about that, I mean can you explain dharma and their button? What was that all about? I can tell you. Dharma was an organisation of living people who broke into the limbo. That's why Mikhail "killed" Bea Klugh. And Mikhail died a lot, don't you think? That's because the Others are dead people who are aware where they are and they have rules for the case when they are captured by living people.
@Zardoz1977 ...Dharma Orientation says there was an incident, and they didnt build the swan in 2 seconds they built the swan after the incident , the orientation also says that the button is to prevent another incident, and the hydrogen bombs original purpose failed but it did get them back to there proper time period, and even if the bomb did "seal the hole" the universe has a way of course correcting its self.
@Zardoz1977 No... maybe its called this is a science fiction series that doesnt have to be realistic and the Dharma station, the swan, was built to basically reset the electo magnetism that the island had, you found that out in season 5 why the button and the swan existed.... and if the others are aware of where they are why was is such a suprise for Ben in season 6 to find out about his previous life when desmond punched him in the face, several times, your theory is very flawed
Lol this is fake. Hurley was a character created specifically for Jorge. Jorge auditioned for another role and the producers decided to create a new role for him. Besides, why would Michael audition for this role, and then get the part of Ben like 2 Yeats later? It's pretty obviously a joke. A bandana? Really?
does he have some sort of disorder? I saw him on Letterman and he was kinda shaking, like as if he was worried or tense or drugged up or had parkinsons or I don´t know what...
He's not bad as Hurley, but NO ONE could have done Ben like Michael Emerson did :)
sawyer probably would do an alright job
you mean he's not as good as hurley
@@Piminy nahhhhhhh
Why do you lie ben?
Ben: it’s just what I do.
Loved the callback to that scene when Sun hits him over the head and just coldly says "I lied". :D
AHHHHH
HE MAKES ME LAUGH SO MUCH
My love for michael emerson cannot be described
lololol this is great!!
this is obviously a joke made for comic con, you guys believe everything
lol right? the comments are nearly as cringe as the fakeness of the clip
Yeah, it's pretty obvious too. I can't believe so many people think this was a real audition.
Don't blame me, I didn't watch the video yet I was reading the comments first
haha lol. wow he;s such a great actor. everybody on lost is and the casting people did such a great job with the casting

Emerson rockss!!
!!TeamLINUS!!
Time Traveller: * accidentally moves a chair *
The Timeline: Michael Emerson as Hurley, Jorge Garcia as Benjamin Linus
Micheal Emmerson is really one of the best actors i ever seen.
XD XD XD XD This is CLASSIC. I can't stop laughing
@Kaytlynkayt He didn't actually audition for Hurley. They just filmed this as a joke for comic con. :)
He is a great actor
He kept reminding me of someone, and I think it might be Steve Carell as Michael Scott.
Ben was Hurley the whole time
It's Prison Mike from The Office! LOL
OH MY GOODNESS
i think they picked the right person for each part
Yep.
ahahahahahahah! :-) Thanks for sharing.
@iMPERiOUS He was auditioning for Sawyer.
Hello Mister Finch.
i feel like he's staring right into my soul with those big bulging eyes.. O_O
el puto amo! xdd
I-M-P-O-S-S-I-B-L-E !!!!! hahahaha
oh yes you did.. oh no... i didn't >_
Prison Mike!
AHAHAHHAHAHA!
It's fake, actually he has made this fake audition tape just for the fans ofcourse. But it was cool!
lol this is fake right? the role of hurley was written specificaly for Jorge Garcia
@omglilylike LOL that would be awkward (x
this MUST be a joke :D
It doesn't mean that is not funny.
the audution for micheal: waaaalt, waaaalt, waaalt, waaahauhaault
john rambo and 'they took my son' 'i'm going after my son and nobody gonna stop me'
a. father's. RIGHT.
"Where's my boy?"
Claire's audition: MY BAYABYYY, THEY TOOK MY BAYBAYYY
Michael really Was annoying
Lost: New season. Every character played by Michael Emerson.
Better yet, imaging every LOST character being played by the actor of a different character.
It's 2016 and still he can't be trusted.
Sushant Parab lmao u killed me

It's 2023 and he still can't be trusted
I seriously cannot believe Michael Emerson is 55 years old...he must've gotten some of Richard's aging powers rofl. I love this guy.
I can't believe the comment is 11 years old

So he's 67 now? 😱

Heer in Germany we would fack hem hard when he veesit heer and he love so mach he came back every heer Begging us to fack heem harder
Michael Emerson was the best thing that ever happened to Lost. And considering it is Lost we are talking of this means something.
Ben is my favorite Lost character. :)
me too!!
I don’t care if this comment is 5 years old. He is is soooo good
@@jacobquackenbush2981 omg literally same he’s my absolute fav except everyone hates him lmao

LOL Michael Emerson is amazing. Only he could play such a complicated villian and still make Ben funny at the same time.
HOW DO SOME OF THE PEOPLE HERE NOT KNOW THIS IS A JOKE 😂
Every character in Lost was cast PERFECTLY. He was a peRfect "Ben".
My favorite character on lost. Cold, calculating and manipulative.
C'mon bro, Hurley is not that bad
11 years later and my favorite character is Johne Locke, but Benjamin Linus is still awesome
couldn't imagion Ben being Hurley and Hurley being Ben lol
just wouldn't feel right
Ikr!!
michael emerson is so adorable. love him like this. he is the greatest! sexiest man alive!

Yes it is, he's also completely exaggerating but it's very funny xD
also 8 years later, hope everything is going well! :D
I’ve heard him say he only knew he was Henry gates when he started filming. So I’d guess he didn’t audition for Linus.
I think he was great. But no else one couldv'e been more suitable in playing Ben.
Michael Emerson is that great that he could probably play Walt if they asked him too, or Vincent. He'd still be the best actor on the show
Lmao he could play Vincent xDDD
Lost was so popular back in the days.
He's brilliant!!! I Love Michael Emerson
That guy that played Ben was really unnerving as Ben.
His name is Ben
His character Ben was similar to Harold Finch from Person of Interest but violent occassionally
this is hilarious!
ME was great in Person of Interest. Great series too!
Hahahahahahaha bulging eyes hahahahhahaha he is awesome! I love he's acting. Such a great little man.
Michael is soooooo cute!!! 😋🍭😽😽💕💕💕💕💕🔥🔥😼😈

There is no goddamn subtitles- WHY RUclips- WHY ARE DOING THIS TO ME-
HAHAH THATS SO AWESOME!! i laughed so hard
one of my favorite supervillains, trying to play some sort of crazy accidental millionaire kid who thinks he's bad luck.
@SupernaturalLover67 55? That's amazing. I thought he was, like, 40 or sumptin', lol.
Atleast he didnt audition for sawyer...
Prison mike
Michael Emerson rocks...Ben is my absolute favourite Lost character
Loved Ben until the moment he murdered Locke
anyone else thinks michael could make a great joker?
He voiced the joker in an animated batman show once
michael is perfect for ben and jorge is perfect for hurley
michael emerson is a great actor. the best on the show. would be good to see him play a more comedic role in something else.

Anything else, from this point on, in my life, is just frosting. This is funny. I laughed for about 40 seconds straight!
Michael Emerson could play anything :D
hi, Dayman.
AhhhhAHhaaaaa
Michael Emerson can pull off a Hurley, Sawyer, Jack, Jin, Kate and Vincent role
@Attox
Of course they died in the plane crash, till season 3, then they changed the script. Think about that, I mean can you explain dharma and their button? What was that all about? I can tell you.

Wow the evil Ben was almost the outcast Hurley! Thank God they didn't go thru with it!
holy crap the that would make ben the protector of the island now a days lol
I CANT IMAGINE THIS HAPPENING!!
All I see is Date Mike
Please tell me it's a fake !!!!
Mike Ophiuchus It is
o man i hope he survives to the end.... my best actor!
If he had been cast as Hurley and not Ben, everything would have been wrong. Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!
