What was that telemovie he was on? The one with dinosaurs Didn't think he was too flashy on that. His best was the non talking part he played in the Mariah Carey Video Clip He's hot. RoosterLad Hall of Famer. Surely his name isn't Wentworth?
RoosterLad said:. HBK Premium Platinum. Altum Volantes 92 - 94 - 06 - He sounds like a law firm. I remember seeing him in The Human Stain, was alright. I'd guess he'd stay TV. But he'll be no doubt be sought by low budget and direct to video filmmakers. Prison officials were apparently worried about having the inmates thinking too much on the idea of prison breaks. However, many prisons still allowed inmates to watch the show, presumably less worried about an over-the-top prison break plan threatening their real-life security.
When producers finally got Prison Break green-lit, they ran into a huge casting problem. Despite many auditions, they could not find the right people for the lead roles. Series creator Paul Scheuring stated, "We went through some harrowing weeks seeing just about every 25 to 35 actor in LA for the Scofield part.
There is a mysterious element about Michael and all these guys would come in playing mysterious, but it was so cheesy and false. He continued, "It was one week 'til production and Wentworth walked in and he was Scofield times ten. Even though Wentworth Miller was cast at the last minute, Dominic Purcell was the last actor to be cast, only three days before the start of production because Scheuring did not originally think Purcell was right for the part.
The production crew was shocked at how well the casting worked out that late in the game. Pope was portrayed as a surprisingly genuine character, perhaps because he was based on a real person in Keach's life. Keach used his own time in prison to get into his part on Prison Break, basing his portrayal of Pope on the warden of the prison where he was incarcerated. In , Stacy Keach spent time in prison after he was arrested for possession of cocaine and taking cocaine into Britain at Heathrow Airport in London.
He pled guilty to the charge and was sentenced to serve nine months in Reading Prison. His prison sentence was big news at the time, as he was starring in a show in Britain that had to cut its season short. Fortunately, Keach was able to leverage that experience to influence his character on Prison Break.
When delving into life in prison and the details of breaking out, producers wanted the prison itself to be as real as possible. They found the perfect filming location in the Joliet Correctional Center, which has a long history spanning over years.
The prison stopped housing inmates three years before the show's production, opening it up for filming. Many cast members commented that filming in Joliet aided their performance, as it made their characters' time in prison feel real.
Dominic Purcell ended up filming in a cell with a notorious history. Purcell's Joliet cell once housed the serial killer John Wayne Gacy, which was a little too creepy for some of the crew. Purcell remembered, "I got on set and the makeup person refused to go into the cell. The long-awaited return of Prison Break brought the story to Yemen, where Michael was imprisoned as a terrorist. The new storyline was somewhat controversial, taking Michael and the rest into ISIS-controlled territory.
The story did not seem to shy away from weaving in the complex political and religious situation of the region. Despite this, the producers were very clear that they did not want the story to be political. Series creator Paul Scheuring stated that he has no interest in making political commentary within the show. However, the show premiered at a time of high tension in the United States when Islamophobia was at the forefront of the national conversation.
This brought Prison Break into the sphere of political commentary, regardless of the producers' intentions. Some critics praised the revival for a few positive portrayals of Muslim characters, but other critics lambasted the show for playing into Islamophobia.
The filming of Prison Break has always been arduous, but once it became dangerous for Dominic Purcell. While filming the season five revival, Purcell sustained a serious injury while on set. In actual fact, Wentworth Miller had to sit in the make-up trailer for just! He nailed the part of noble Scofield, but Miller was actually cast on Prison Break just one week before filming began.
Miller first came to the attention of executive producer Brett Ratner after auditioning to play the Man of Steel in his aborted Superman movie, Flyby. All of the Fox River prison scenes in season one were shot at Joliet Correctional Centre — closed down in , the cell blocks, the yard and the infirmary were all real. Fox originally turned Prison Break down in , concerned about the long-term prospects of the premise. The show was briefly re-conceived as a mini-series, with Steven Spielberg showing interest — he eventually made War of the Worlds instead.
Prison Break was remade in Russia as Pobeg — many scenes and pieces of dialogue were copied verbatim. AND Hollywood is never not sending messages. Even when we don't think what we're watching has A Message, messages are being sent.
About gender, sex, race, dating, power, politics… A lot of folks in Hollywood don't want to accept this. How fast — how far — their stories fly.
Prison Break ran for four seasons between to and starred Miller and Aussie actor Dominic Purcell. The show returned for a revival season in and there have been loud whispers that another season is on the cards.
