I am here with the cast of Prison Break.

And can you believe I said that?

The cast of Prison Break, it's back.

What's up, guys?

Hey buddy, how are you?

Hi.

We got Dominic Purcell, Sarah Wayne Callies, and Robert Knepper.

So, Robert, I got a question for you.

T-Bag, what's with the coat?

That's the question.

This is one of Austin's finest, by the way, this coat.

Just got it yesterday in South Congress.

It's kind of like a rockstar.

What did you say?

It's a blanket, as you Americans call it.

What do you call it?

A comforter.

A comforter.

A comforter.

You know what?

I love it and I'm wearing it.

Nobody rocks it like you.

We call them.

We call them doonas back in Australia.

Doonas.

Doona.

Oh, it's got a hood.

Check this out.

Stylin'.

Young Hollywood wardrobe, take notes.

I'm trying to do Star Trek.

You do great gangsta.

Oh, I was gonna ask you about that.

Okay, so I'm the biggest Trekkie ever.

Exciting thing to talk to you about is Next Generation and your episode in Next Gen.

Are you in there?

Yeah.

You!

You know, before Prison Break, for twenty-some years I was kicking around as an actor and people would come up to me on the plane and go, "Loved you in Haven, man. You were so great!"

Yeah.

I'm just about to work with Seth MacFarlane who has a show called Orville, which is like a Star Trek kind of show, and he even saw that.

He's a huge sci-fi guy.

So, what are we to expect with coming into Prison Break?

Like, is it, is it just gonna be the same thing over or is there some fresh life to this series?

I think the most interesting thing about this new reboot is the characters.

With age, we have a lot more worldly experience.

Our choices are different.

I think the audiences are gonna love, uh, will see certainly the weight that we've gained in the last month.

But, uh, you know, yeah.

Knowing the choices, I mean, first year Prison Break was a classic and I don't think anyone would argue that first season was probably the best season of Prison Break.

I liken this new series to be just as on the same kind of plateau, same, uh, same position as first season.

Well, I, I think a lot of what we find in that the return series is that it's been seven years.

People change a lot in seven years.

And to some extent, maybe we've all been trying to escape ourselves, to become new or better or different people.

And in a way, I think the story of season five, there's only so far that that goes.

And at a certain point, I think the essential things about who you are as a person, you are who you are and that comes through.

And that's I like the musical numbers we added to it as well, that we didn't have before.

You got you got Dominic doing some of the kickline?

Is that is that what it is?

Teddy and the uh, does that great song Light Up My Donut.

Remember, in the

You know why he said?

Okay, so Sarah, I got a question for you.

You grew up in Hawaii, correct?

That's not a question, that's a statement.

Well, I'm I'm gonna continue.

Oh no, correct, like a, correct?

I went up on a.

Oh, remember that, remember that.

I'm sorry.

It's so cold, I can't like my brain's freezing in my head and I'm confused by that because it's Texas and that's supposed to be cold.

So, what's your question?

My question is, is is Hawaii home or because to me it's like vacation.

So, do you feel like home is vacation or where is vacation for someone who grows up in Hawaii?

I mean, it's a beautiful place to grow up.

You know, when you go to school there it feels like less of a vacation because you got deadlines and papers and stuff.

You know, my brothers grew up in the water surfing and so I got to spend a lot of time on the beach watching them and and supporting them.

Yeah, I mean, vacation to me I guess feels like Manhattan.

You know, it's a place where there's museums and amazing food and stuff, but, you know, going home's always a joy.

I mean, you know, this guy's from Aus, like we come from beautiful places.

Yeah.

You're from Ohio.

The Dom.

Dom.

Dom, you had, uh,

I love Ohio.

I'm very glad I grew up there, by the way.

Dom, you had the best of both, right, Dom?

You had snow and surfing.

Is that potato land?

Oh, oh.

No, that's Idaho.

Oh, Idaho.

Jeez.

No, Skyline Chili.

Ohio is where all the best actors are from.

That's where they grow the best actors.

Oh, yeah, so I I gotta ask Robert, T-Bag, they are saying it's one of the, uh, most successful and well-received villains of all time in television.

Does that put like an insurmountable amount of pressure on your back, or do you just not even let that affect you as you go to approach this character again?

You hear what she just said?

I couldn't.

She said, "Don't mess it up."

And you have that voice.

I mean, you really You know, I think I I don't know, all of us, I think this time around, we just jumped in and and didn't try to treat it like, "Oh, oh, we have to top what we did before."

We just, we did it.

You don't want to do an impression of yourself from seven years ago.

Yeah, that'd be a caricature, it'd be horrible.

Do you guys have any memorable moments from the original series?

Like funny things that happened on set or does anything stand out outside of injury?

Something fun, something exciting that you can look back on?

I mean, I've repeated this story and I don't think you can top it for me.

Um, I was in a CVS downtown in Chicago and this, uh, crazy woman thought that I was an escaped convict.

For real.

Seriously?

Yeah.

Method, method right there.

Yeah, yeah.

And, uh, she was looking at me strangely and she said, "You're you're you're the criminal, you're the guy that's escaped."

And I'm saying, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm I'm it's a TV show, I'm"

Anyway, the cops arrived and, uh,

Seriously?

They arrived and, uh, they they looked at

I've heard this story.

Yeah, no, no.

They they looked at me and they went, "You're the dude from Prison Break."

I said, "Yeah."

And this this and they just looked at the lady and said, "Look, he's an actor."

She's, "No, no, no, I've seen him on news, he's he's escaped."

"The cops for eleven."

Yeah.

That was probably the strangest thing that's happened to me.

Okay, so any tips on, uh, if I go to prison, how to escape?

It's very likely You won't be able to escape.

You won't be able to escape there.

You wouldn't survive it.

No.

You won't survive, trust me.

You'd be eaten alive.

Well,

Okay.

I'm the character that can prove that.

Hey.

If he starts singing a song that starts with "Light up my,"

And whatever you

Whatever you do, run.

Run.

Back to your lit up donut.

All right, Young Hollywood, that's all the time we have with the cast of Prison Break and so many other films.

Such an accomplished group here.

Look forward to the new series of Prison Break coming out shortly.

Thank you.
