The star talks about Michael's mindset as he tries to escape yet another prison.
When Prison Break returned on Fox, Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) was revealed to be alive — not dead as a result of his brain tumor, or even a fatal electrocution, as The Final Break had indicated. However, Michael is now behind bars in a Yemeni prison under the assumed name Kaniel Outis, who is a renowned terrorist with ties to ISIL. Has Michael really betrayed his friends and family? And should fans be worried that Michael may therefore not survive the revival? EW hit the set of Prison Break to get the scoop from Miller himself. (Plus: Check out an exclusive sneak peek from Tuesday’s episode below.)
WENTWORTH MILLER: He’s walked a dark road. He’s always been a character that has put other people first, to sacrifice himself is part of his, “Who am I?” But in the years since we last saw him, he’s been a part of some deep, dark government funded plots and plans, and that’s left a mark on him. I think he’s a marked man, which has always been the poetry of the show, that the tattoos on his skin are reflective of his journey, his progression. I think he is tortured by some of the things that he’s seen, that he’s participated in, and the question of how do I make that right, how I wash my hands clean, much like in the first go around, is front and center. His primary goal is getting back to his family, regaining what’s he lost, what he was made to sacrifice.
