Nearly as close in real life as on screen, Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell form a duo that will remain in TV history. For us the two Prison Break stars look back on S3 and give their insight on the future of the show.
Q: There are rumours of a PB spin-off which would take place in a women’s prison. Is it a real project?
WM: I’ve heard about it, but not from the show producers themselves. I don’t know where this rumour comes from, but I can assure you that at this moment in time, there’s no actual spin off project.
DP: Yes, I think that you must not take this rumour too seriously. But I must admit I find the idea interesting. I wouldn’t mind seeing this project developed.
Q: Prison Break is in its third season, but do you know if the series will go on for several years?
DP: As far as Wentworth and I are concerned, we’re under contract for seven seasons. Obviously, it doesn’t mean the show will last that long, but if the viewers stay with us, we’ll carry on for a while.
WM: I don’t think S3 will be the last one. Anyway, for Dom and I, as long as the producers want to continue the adventure and the screenplays remain captivating we’ll be here. Leaving the show is absolutely not on our mind!
Q: Do you support the writer's strike which started in November?
DP: Honestly, I can’t give a qualified opinion on this matter! Even though I work in show business, I don’t understand the full reason behind this strike.
WM:I think this strike is justified. Even if it endangers the existence of many shows, I think it was necessary. Even if it means that S3 will be shorter than S1 and 2!
Q: Are you still in contact with SWC since she left the show?
WM: We occasionally talk over the phone. For me, she remains what she was when she worked with us : an excellent friend. We respect her decision. And I know she’s still watching us with great interest. Even if she’s not in the show anymore she hasn’t missed a single episode of this season !( laughs..)
Q: Besides Prison Break, do you watch other series on Tv?
DP: As far as I’m concerned, not really. I must say that Tv is rarely on at home. I practically never watch it except for news bulletins and nature documentaries.
WM: I enjoy series like 'The Closer' or 'Without a trace'. I like series you can watch at any time without having to know the whole story to understand what’s going on. The very opposite of Prison Break ! (laughs) But I don’t see myself acting in one of those, I would get bored to death.
Q: You’ve been working together for three years now, did you ever argue with each other?
WM: To the point where we wouldn’t talk to each other, no ! But we can disagree. It’s never serious. Dom and I get along very well and it has been like this since we first met.
DP: You know, it’s very difficult to fall out with Wentworth. Look at this angel face -- who would want to get angry with him ? (laughs). But obviously, like anybody else, I can get to work in the morning in a bad mood because I haven’t slept well or because of personal problems, although I’d rather stay in my trailer until I feel better. I generally consider the members of the team as friends, and not as simple co-workers. There’s a real feeling of fraternity between the actors of the show.
WM: And contrary to what you might think, this sense of camaraderie is quite rare in the profession..
Q: How would you like to see the show end for Michael and Lincoln?
WM: As for me, I don’t imagine a happy ending. It’s sad to say, but I don’t think Michael will ever overcome Sara’s death. This tragedy will always be a burden on his conscience.
DP: I would like to see Lincoln rebuild his life and make up for lost time with his son. And above all I would like him to find a good woman to share his life. He deserves it.
