"Michael Emerson has revealed that he is excited about his new television project. Emerson is working with JJ Abrams and his former Lost co-star Terry O&amp;#039;Quinn on the show, which received a pilot order from NBC earlier this week. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Emerson admitted that he never expected the project to get so far. &amp;quot;I really am amazed that what started out as some kidding around on the set of Lost has turned into a network TV reality,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m still reeling from this sudden turn of events. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m an actor who has never even succeeded in testing for a pilot and here I find myself involved in a project custom-built for Terry and me! [I] can&amp;#039;t tell you how thrilling it is to be part of the Bad Robot [Abrams&amp;#039; production company] family and enter into this exciting collaboration with Warner Bros. and NBC. Have we arrived or what?&amp;quot; Emerson also revealed that he is excited about working with O&amp;#039;Quinn again, saying: &amp;quot;Best of all will be that day when Terry and I show up on the set of a brand new show, look around, shrug our shoulders and say, &amp;#039;Let&amp;#039;s get started!&amp;#039; My fingers are crossed!&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
