Wentworth Miller
The series revolves around two brothers. In series one, Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Pucell) is framed for killing the Vice President’s brother. He’s thrown in prison and put on death row. Younger brother Michael Schofield (Wentworth Miller) rescues Lincoln by getting himself in prison to help Lincoln escape. Other inmates get involved in the plan. Season one ends with eight inmates escaping and going on the lam.
Season two shows the fugitives and their flight cross country, with the government hot on their trail. Trouble follows in season three when the brothers and those following them are locked up in a Panama prison. Schofield again manages a prison break. Stars Dominic Purcell (Burrows) and Wentworth Miller (Schofield) were cast at the last minute. Miller was cast a week before filming, and Purcell only three days before they began. Purcell surprised directors when he arrived on set with a shaved head, which made him and Miller look more like brothers.
