BBC UK’s Jo Whiley recently did a radio interview with Prison Break’s Wentworth Miller where he talks about filming the hit series and Mariah Carey music videos. He wore a "Blonde From Fargo" t-shirt to the radio studio in support of his Prison Break co-star Peter Stromare’s (mobster John Abruzzi) indie band. Wentworth Miller answered some interesting questions –
If you were locked up in a room for a month, it might be a prison room or something like that, who would you most like to share your time with if you were in a room? A human beng would be annoying after awhile. I’d probably choose a dog. A pet. I grew up with an English bull terrier. One of the Spuds McKenzie dogs, so I’d probably get one of those and maybe my iPod.Coming off of that, you’re allowed one book and one CD. It’d have to be something classical. Anything else would get old. Maybe some Tschikovsky. One book? I’m a big fan of "Where the Red Fern Grows." Something I’ve read every year since I was about five-years-old. It’s by Wilson Rawls and it’s about a boy and his dogs, in keeping with the theme.
Who would be the poster on your wall? There’s a great poster I’ve seen which is all of the movies that have won Oscars since they’ve founded the Oscars, which would actually give me 50-60 different posters to look at in one.
You’d obviously have a lot to think about your life. Who would you write a letter to to say you’re sorry? Probably my grandfather because he passed away when I was only about 10 or 11. And I can rememeber specifically since I wasn’t allowed to watch a lot of TV at home, when I’d go to visit my grandparents, I would seize the opportunity to sit on the couch all day and watch cartoons. And I really wish I’d spent more time with him when I could have.
You have to have the same dinner every night, so what would it be? If you had to eat one thing all the time. Pizza. Morning, noon and night. Day after day. Pepperoni. Sausage. Extra Cheese. Maybe some green pepper if I’m feeling feisty. No olives. No anchoives. Pineapple but only with ham. Then we have to scratch the pepperoni and the sausage.
Who would you like to most visit you? Who was it that broke out in Shawshank? Maybe Tim Robbins. [Laughs]
When you left the room, what would you like to do first? I’d probably go for a walk in the palk. I think trees and grass are what I’d miss most.

How did you get the scar on your upper lip? —Maurine, Derwood, Maryland I can’t remember a specific incident. I must have fallen on my face as a kid running up and down die streets of Brooklyn. I’m going to have to ask Mom about that one.
You’re a well-educated man—do you ever regret not taking your knowledge into another career? —Amanda, Memphis Never. Acting is in my heart of hearts.
How do you feel about being a heartthrob? —Amy, Bloomington, Indiana It’s neither here nor there. If it opens a few doors for me, I’m willing to go along on that ride.

The Prison Break hunk answers all your questions. And yes, he’s single! — Far from his white-knuckled predicament inside the walls of Fox River State Penitentiary, Prison Break’s hero Wentworth Miller, 33, kicks back in a Greenwich Village photo studio. Maybe the relaxed setting explains why he waxed so wise, warm and reflective as he fielded a slew of your questions fresh off TVGuide.com. Or maybe he’s just a really, really nice guy.
Will we ever get to see Michael and Dr. Sara get together romantically? —Daisy, St. Louis I’ll say that before the brothers break out, Michael and Sara take their relationship to the next level.
How did you get the scar on your upper lip? —Maurine, Derwood, Maryland I can’t remember a specific incident. I must have fallen on my face as a kid running up and down die streets of Brooklyn. I’m going to have to ask Mom about that one.
What is the significance of the black cord pendant necklace you wear? —Kelly, Douglas, Georgia It’s a simple solid-silver piece at the end of that cord necklace. I found it at a flea market. It doesn’t do anything, it doesn’t hold anything. It just is, which I thought was a statement in and of itself. It spoke to me.
How do you pass the time when they’re applying Michael’s full-body tattoo? —Shiran, Los Angeles I listen to my iPod. I watch old movies on a little TV/DVD set, like "His Girl Friday" or the original "The Hills Have Eyes." The-makeup team and I work our way through various TV series. The last was Family Guy. I made it through all six seasons of Oz in three months.
What happened to the Taj Mahal Michael was helping Warden Pope build? — Bernice, Boca Raton, Florida It’s nearing completion, and in fact plays a critical part in the penultimate episode. There is a showdown between Michael and the Pope, and Michael must choose whether to betray someone who’s been incredibly kind to him.
When asked about your race, what do you tell people? –Soycheng, Vancouver, Washington I say I’m of mixed race, and if they ask for specifics, I rattle off the details: My mother is Russian, French, Syrian, Lebanese and Dutch; my father is African-American, Jamaican, English, German and part Cherokee.
How difficult was it dealing with racism growing up and now trying to find roles in Hollywood? —Stephanie, Milton, Massachusetts I’ll find myself standing in the company of someone who will make an offhand comment about someone else who is clearly "this" or "that," knowing that they haven’t realized that I may also be "this" or "that." They feel free to make that sort of comment in front of me, and then I’m faced with the choice of "Do I stop the party and start lecturing, or do I keep quiet and internalize this insult to someone who looks like they could be my family?" It’s a difficult choice, and I’d like to say that I always do the right thing, but the fact is it can be exhausting trying to educate someone. Confronting people can be difficult. As for how race has played into my experience in the business, it’s really difficult to say. Obviously I’m not in the room when they’re talking about my audition tape, so I don’t know what goes into that process. I will say I’ve been fairly pleased by the reaction to my casting in Prison Break, which is basically no reaction at all. I’m playing a white character. There are those who would argue that actors of a certain background should not play certain parts, and those who would argue that those limitations should be challenged. I’m not interested in weighing in on that. I just want to work.
Any interest in comedy? —Camille, Brooklyn, New York Absolutely. Romantic comedy, dark comedy, maybe even slapstick.
What’s on your iPod? —Patty, Los Angeles A lot of classical—Tchaikovsky is a favor—and some old-school Ella Fitzgerald, Simon and Garfunkel, ’80s-era Michael Jackson, Radiohead, Angie Stone. I like Eminem. Grunge. When I was in high school in the ’80s, when I could have been listening to Poison and that kind of thing, my parents had very strict rules, and I wasn’t allowed to listen to music that had lyrics while I was doing my homework. So it was classical music or nothing. I think I missed out on a lot of stuff that my peers were into.
If you could play any character in literature, whom would you play? —Jennifer, Millville, New Jersey Well, if we can expand the definition of literature to include comic books, I’d definitely love a crack at General Zod from "Superman."
So I’m hoping that Bryan Singer makes a sequel to the "Superman" that’s coming out and casts me. What five people in history do you admire? —Angela, Detroit I’ve always had an interest in the English novelists from the 1800s, which is why I became an English major. Charles Dickens, William Thackeray, Jane Austen, the Brontes. I have a very romantic, tragic vision of these people scribbling away in some attic only to be really appreciated after their demises.
You’re a well-educated man—do you ever regret not taking your knowledge into another career? —Amanda, Memphis Never. Acting is in my heart of hearts.
How do you feel about being a heartthrob? —Amy, Bloomington, Indiana It’s neither here nor there. If it opens a few doors for me, I’m willing to go along on that ride.
What will you be doing during the Prison Break hiatus? —Michele, Chatsworth, California I’ve decided to do nothing at all. I’ve been lucky enough to get lots of movie offers, but the show is my first priority, and I’m very tired. I know if I want to give my all to the second season, I really need to take a couple months off to recharge the batteries. So after driving home from Chicago to L.A., I’ll kick back and take it easy.
Dave Chappelle recently said, "Success takes you where character cannot sustain you." Agree or disagree? —Voncile, Dallas Agree, for the most part. Anthony Hopkins [his costar in "The Human Stain''] said to me that success shines a magnifying glass on who you really are. Success gives you opportunities and money and power to take who you really are and run with it, so you’ll either become a monster or an even better person. I hope to fall into the latter category.
Do you cook? —Cynthia, Brooklyn, New York I can toast Pop-Tarts. That’s really about the extent of it. Actually, I do have one dish I can make—spaghetti with meat sauce. I thought I was so clever the day I decided to add a can of salsa to a jar of Prego to make a kind of Mexican-Italian Bolognese sauce. I thought it was great. My friends didn’t agree.
What "type" were you in school? —Carrie Ann, Walla Walla, Washington A lot of slashes: nerd/jock/artist/newspaper geek. I was many things, and so didn’t really fit in anywhere.
You’ve mentioned that you were working on some short stories and a script. Any chance of us seeing them soon? —Yue Zhuo, Melbourne, Australia It will be a long time before I feel comfortable enough to share my work, sad to say.
Do you see yourself settling down with a nice girl and having children? —Jerri, Pico Rivera, California Right now, my work comes first. I’m a workaholic, which is the sad truth of it. I did manage to go on a couple of dates over the past year, but I’m happiest when I’m on set, so I really need to get all of that out of my system before I can really turn my attention to more personal matters.
Rumor has it you sponsored a cat shelter. True? —Hunter, Homewood, Illinois Not true. I’m the last person to start a cat shelter, seeing as I’m deathly allergic to them. Unfortunately, I’m allergic to all animals and even some people. There was a scene where I had to give Dominic Purcell a hug—you know, a touching embrace between the brothers—and at the end of the night I had a rash on my neck. I got a lot of teasing on that.
You were a member of Princeton University’s a capella Tigertones. Any chance we’ll see you in musical roles? —Rochelle, Kitchener, Ontario, Canada I’d love to. Not necessarily on stage, maybe on the big screen. I haven’t sung—sang?— in 10 years, and it would take a lot of training to get my voice back to something remotely presentable. So it’s a pipe dream at this point.
If you could have one superhero power, what would you choose? —Kimberly, Las Vegas I wish I could control the weather. I’ve been suffering in Chicago for the last year and am facing an additional six months there.
What TV shows do you watch? —Shaniqua, Newport, Rhode Island I buy the DVDs: Curb Your Enthusiasm, Nip/Tuck and the first season of NewsRadio, because I think Phil Hartman was a genius. When I did watch live TV, I was a big fan of the Law & Orders. Sam Waterston was a personal inspiration, because there was a time I bought into the mentality that success in Hollywood meant feature films. I remember spending a weekend watching Law 6" Order, and Sam Waterston blew me away, episode after episode. I thought, "There’s amazing work being done in every facet of this business, and to listen to my agents and refuse to go out for TV, I’m being a fool."

SPOILERS :: Stop right now if you don’t want to spoil next week’s episode of Prison Break. Don’t tell me I didn’t warn you!

Enjoy the new promo above and the best quote of next week’s episode below –
Michael :: The only way we’re getting into that infirmary is from beneath. We’re gonna have to find another way.
Westmoreland :: The Psych Ward?
Michael :: It’s the only building that shares a subsurface line with the infirmay.
T-Bag :: You’re telling me… to get into the infirmary, we gotta go through the whack shack?
They open with Lincoln getting straped down into the chair and after they’re done the curtain to the viewers room opens.
Michael and Veronica are shocked to see it and are clearly devestated. You can also see the mystery man in the viewers room. Lincoln recognizes the man and starts mumbling, "It’s him… it’s him." The warden hears something but doesn’t understand Lincoln. Before anything else happens the phone behind the execution room rings, and then the curtain to the viewers room closes.
Next, you see Michael and Veronica in the visitation room out of their mind, not knowing what happened. Then the door opens and the warden comes in saying, "I can’t tell you how sorry I am that you had to go through all this." Then Lincoln comes in - Michael and Veronica are relieved but also beyond surprised and shocked.
Michael :: "What happened in there?"
Pope :: "Judge Kessler called. The execution has been delayed"
Michael :: "What do you mean delayed?"
Pope :: "Apparently some new evidence has come to live."
Veronica :: "What evidence?"
Michael :: "I don’t understand. How long do we have? One day? Two days?"
Pope :: "That’s all the information I have at the moment. I’m sorry. I’ll give you a minute."
Pope leaves the room to give Lincoln, Michael and Veronica some privacy.
Michael :: "I need to know how much time we have."
Veronica :: "I go and see the judge and find out. (She kisses and pets Lincoln a bit more and then leaves to call the judge.) You’re with Michael, you’ll be OK."
Lincoln :: "Did you see him."
Michael :: "Who?"
Lincoln :: "The guy in the viewing room."
Michael :: "No!?"
Lincoln :: "It was Dad!"
Michael is speechless and shocked
Lincoln :: "It was Dad!"
[Opening Credits]
Michael and Lincoln talk about it - Lincoln is convinced that it is their dad, Michael doesn’t believe it.
Meeting between the VP, Kellerman and Brinker.
VP :: "Why is he still alive?"
Kellerman :: "It appears that some information was anonymously slipped to the judge."
VP :: "Anonymously? It was your fat little friend Hale. If you had taken care of him sooner…"
Kellerman :: "It wasn’t Hale…"
Brinker :: "How do you know that?"
Kellerman :: "If Hale would have gotten Veronica Donovan anything that could have gotten stay of execution, I think she would have brought it up when she made her argument in court. It didn’t come from him."
Bringer :: "Who else on your end knows?"
Kellerman :: "Who else on your end knows? Why all the finger pointing at us. Are we sure the leak doesn’t come from your end, the company?"
VP :: "Hey! We are all on the same team. Remember?"
Brinker :: "Absolutely!"
VP :: "Just find the leak and plug it!"
Next scene in the judges room.
Judge :: "All I can tell is, I was working late in chambers, I left at 11 and there is was, right under my door. (
With that he hands an envelope to Veronica.) One is Steadman’s autopsy report and his appendix is present and unremarkable. The other paper is a operative report from when Mr. Steadman was 12 years old. The procedure was an appendectomy (sp?)"
The prosecutor takes the paper which Veronica has taken out of the envelope from her.
Prosecutor :: "That’s impossible! Let me see this." [...]
It is further revealed in the conversation that the medical reports are not available that far back and the prosecutor states that this could have been created by anybody (like an anti-death-penalty group or the defense attorney). The judge says he doesn’t know what it means but he’s delaying the execution for 2 weeks to exhume the body of Mr. Steadman since this is the only way to find out if the burried body is indeed Steadman.
Michael is not willing to wait if the corpse is really not Steadman and wants to go "back to work". Sucre is hilarious and say, "Thank god, I was hoping you would say that!" OTP!!! BFF!!! So cute.
They start making plans for a second attempt which is suicide according to Michael. Well, it seems, it leads through the psych ward and half the way between the break room and the psych ward is above ground. The others agree that it is suicide. Nice banter between all of them. Btw, they also comment on the weather (it’s snowing) - at least the producers acknowledge that it’s crazy. When Michael tells Sucre that he’s going over to the psych ward to familiarize with the pipes, Sucre is so protective and doesn’t like the danger Michael will get himself into (he’s so in love!) - then we see a prisoner doing some laundy service and he has an idea. Sucre organizes the guard uniform from his cousin in the laundry.
The VP is doing a press conference and is despised by the actions of the judge and the exhumation of her brother.
The guys keep working in the break room (they still use the hole as entry) and are almost discovered when the wall breaks down and they are in the process to shuffle the dirt from the wall into the hole. That was very tight.
Lincoln asks Sara if it’s possible that he was imagining seeing somebody in the viewing room who wasn’t there. Sara concludes that he’s a prime candidate for post dramatic stress disorder and that is one of the sympthoms.
Really nice convo between Westmoreland and C-Note about his scheme with the postcards from Irak which Westmoreland discovered when one of the postcards fell out of C-Notes overall. They almost start bonding.
Using that CO uniform, Michael sneaks out by night and just openly goes into the psych ward claiming to be a CO and looking for the bathroom. He wanders off and looks around a few storage rooms to find the access to the pipes. The guard in psych finds him but he excuses himself under the claim he was looking for the bathroom down there and got lost. On his way back, he gets almost discovered by a CO in the back walls - when he hides behind the CO (while he has a drink) he has to lean against some pipes which are obviously very hot - poor Michael, you can see him in great pain but he has to remain silent. During that process the uniform on his back is scorched. The pipe burned the uniform into his skin.
On Michael’s request Sucre rips it off and Michael cries out (loud). Afterwards he wakes up in the infirmary with a huge bandage on his back - he was out due to the anesthesia (which he can’t even remember)… Sara had to perform a procedure. Sucre is in the warden’s office and is accused to have deep fried him out of revenge. Sucre claims he didn’t do anything to him, he found him that way but the cell was locked. After Michael doesn’t want to reveal to Sara who did this to him, he gets the cold shoulder again. (Michael is getting quite cocky… his answer, "This is the part where I don’t answer.").
Steadman’s body is examined but the corpse is already so far degenerated that they have to rely on teeth - the dental records match. When leaving the autopsy, Veronica and Nick run into a very angry VP (obviously fake)… the scene is great though.
Veronica visits Lincoln and he discloses to her that he’s sure he saw his father in the viewing room. He had learned from the warden earlier that aside from Michael and Veronica there were only 3 journalists in the viewing room - 2 women and 1 man with the name Will Prall. During the episode we also see Lincoln having a few dreams/flashbacks when he was at a baseball game with his father 30 years ago and his dad pointed out the number 11 player as his favourite… the players name was Willy Prall. Lincoln is convinced it’s his father but Veronica doesn’t believe him.
Brinker & Kellerman check the security camera from the court house - the guy passing on the evidence to the judge is recognized by Brinker - buy we don’t know who it is. Imo, it could be Lincoln’s and Michael’s dad from what we see but the person tries to ditch the cameras so nothing is clear.
Sara has taken some of the cloth out of Michael’s skin during the procedure and has it analyzed by Katie - obviously she’s very curious what Michael is hiding now. She realizes that the tissue is not from a normal prison uniform but a guards uniform.
Michael comes back to his cell from the infirmary. He was told that he has to keep the bandage on his back but of course he takes it off immediately. Important parts of hhe blueprints on his back how to get from the psych ward to the infirmary have been burnt away.
