Below is an audio clip of the call. Here is a transcript of the question Diana asked Michael Emerson:

And our next question comes from the line of (Diana Marsh). Ma’am, your line is open.

(Diana Marsh):      All right. Thank you, guys, for answering our questions. We really appreciate your time. My first question is for Michael. Michael, when you look at a role why do you choose a particular role? What jumps out at you and says, I need to play this?

Michael Emerson:

“I mean, I kind of go by whether the writing appeals to me and the character may be secondary, because I’m not looking to play a particular type or a particular quality or result. I just like to know that there’s going to be good language, you know, and a good atmosphere.

I responded to the pilot script for Person Of Interest because of its setting and the darkness of it, the paranoia of it. And also that the character I was going to be asked to play was a person with a particular way of talking. I like that.”

Here is the audio of the conference call that we participated in. Special thanks to the rest of the press representatives for their questions.

Here is a trailer for “Person of Interest”
