Blogging the TCA Blogs #6 - “Prison Break”

NY Post has Wentworth Miller write the show’s new tagline:

“It’s the A-Team 2008!” Wentworth said of the new season, adding, “We are seven guys with very different agendas who are forced to work together.”

And Mee Vee gets him to compare previous seasons:

“I felt like Michael was at his best in Season One. He had a clear sense of purpose,” Miller said. “And then in Season Two (after the escape), the character kind of spun out. And then when we were back inside in Season Three, he had that sense of purpose again.” So will the character spin out again now that he’s back on the street in Season Four? “No, because this time we’re being pro-active instead of reactive. He has a mission.”

Prison Break Docks at the Port of Rapa

Michael Rapaport (My Name Is Earl) has stepped out of his comedy boots and into his drama sneakers. According to the Hollywood Reporter:

On the 20th Century Fox TV-produced “Prison Break,” Rapaport will play a government agent who has an interesting offer for Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) and his brother (Dominic Purcell). Production on the upcoming fourth season begins this month in Los Angeles.

“Interesting offer” is insider code for, “that script hasn’t been written yet.”
