The Real-Life Husband of “Elsbeth” Actress Carrie Preston Makes His Appearance on Her Show and More

Michael Emerson’s role as judge Milton Crawford on Elsbeth marks an intriguing development in the show, especially with his character being a killer whom Elsbeth has not yet been able to solve the mystery of. As he shared, he will appear in two major episodes where he is the guest lead, and will also pop up in a few more episodes, continuing to keep the tension high as he seeks revenge and becomes a recurring antagonist for Elsbeth.

Carrie Preston’s perspective on their characters is also quite revealing. She describes their dynamic as one where both Elsbeth and Crawford are matched in terms of intelligence and challenges, adding depth to their cat-and-mouse game. The idea of having Crawford as Elsbeth’s version of a “Moby Dick” or “Moriarty” elevates the stakes, making their confrontations even more compelling.

As for the guest star in an upcoming episode, it sounds like a notable person—likely the son of a famous couple—will be joining the cast, which will add an exciting twist for fans of the show.
