Michael Emerson to Appear in PBS’ God in America

Looks like Michael will appear in the first episode of the PBS miniseries. Michael plays John Winthrop.

Episode One, “A New Adam” ( October 11, 9-10pm ET on PBS ): The first hour of God in America explores the origins of America’s unique religious landscape—how the New World challenged and changed the faiths the first European settlers brought with them. In New Mexico, the spiritual rituals of the Pueblo Indians collided with the Catholic faith of Franciscan missionaries, ending in a bloody revolt. In New England, Puritan leader John Winthrop faced off against religious dissenters from within his own ranks. And a new message of spiritual rebirth from evangelical preachers like George  Whitefield swept through the American colonies, upending traditional religious authority and kindling a rebellious spirit that converged with the political upheaval of the American Revolution.
