'Elsbeth' Actress Carrie Preston's Real-Life Husband Michael Emerson Makes Debut on Her Show & There's More to Come

Yep, that was Carrie Preston‘s real-life husband Michael Emerson playing judge Milton Crawford on the latest episode of her CBS TV show Elsbeth.

Carrie plays Elsbeth Tascioni, the astute but unconventional consent decree attorney working with the NYPD to catch New York’s most well-heeled murderers utilizing her unique point of view.

In the episode that aired on Thursday (December 12), Elsbeth was serving on one of Crawford’s juries… and had no clue that he was actually a killer. This one of the only times that Elsbeth hasn’t solved a murder in an episode!

So, what’s Michael‘s future on the show?

“I have two big [episodes] where I’m the guest lead, and you’ll see me two or three more times, just popping up every now and then to remind the audience that I’m still out there, and I’m still trying to take my revenge,” Michael told TheWrap.

Carrie added, “It’s good that Elsbeth can’t solve all of the crimes in each episode, to have her Moby Dick that she’s trying to find or the Moriarty to her Sherlock, somebody who is the thorn in her side, somebody she is having a really hard time roping in… They both have kind of met their match, so that’s fun, because the stakes are really high for both of them.”

The son of a very famous couple will be guest starring on an upcoming episode.
