In my career as an actor, there is a catchphrase that Scofield always says often in regards to his brother, 'Have a little faith.' In my own career as an actor, there were times when I was the only one who believed in myself in the face of the odds.

My character in 'Prison Break' needs to be formidable. In reality, I'm not very tough at all.

It was just expected that I would go to college. Both my parents are teachers and they tolerated acting, but I was going to go to a school of quality or bust. Which made my downshifting back to acting afterward a little difficult.

There'll be moments when I'm out in the prison yard, chatting with the cast and the crew, getting ready to shoot a scene. And then I'll remember if I were actually an inmate, I'd only be out there an hour. The other 23 hours of the day, I'd be in my cell. It's kind of a downer.

My family put a lot of emphasis on homework, so there weren't too many comic books or video games for me, when I was growing up.

You only cry for help if you believe there is help to cry for.

Prison Break is so far-fetched, I had to make viewers believe that Michael is capable of making the impossible possible.
