Lost star Michael Emerson has admitted that he would love to be cast in vampire drama, True Blood.

Ideally, Emerson, who plays Ben Linus on Lost, would like to star opposite his wife Carrie Preston (Arlene Fowler) on the show.

“I think it would be fun if I got to play her father,” he told Extra.

“I would go on any Alan Ball show to do just about anything. I will be the face in the window, I will be the cab driver… I don’t want to be a vampire.”

Preston added: “I think you should be a shape-shifter or something… Maybe [you] should not be a bad character at all… maybe you should be a good guy.”
