Michael Emerson is the newest villain to join the cast of The CW's DC Comics adaptation, "Arrow." The actor joins Cheddar to discuss what it's like translating his signature bad-guy style to the world of superheroes. He says comic-book shows let him perform even more expressively than he otherwise would. Emerson also reveals the similarities between his new role and the one he just wrapped on "Person of Interest." Both characters are brilliant computer technicians, but one is good and the other is evil. Emerson also looks back to his role on "Lost" and whether the drama could be considered the first binge-worthy show. Finally, we put the Emmy-winning actor to the test in a game of "Hero or Hero?" To celebrate his entry to the superhero universe, we ask Emerson to determine whether names belong to caped crusaders or sandwiches. Do you know if "Big Bertha" is a masked vigilante or a popular deli offering?
