Young Hollywood

Hey guys, it's Audrey in Anaheim, California for WonderCon. Now, after a seven-year hiatus, the stars of Prison Break are breaking back in to their beloved show. So between Prison Break and Legends of Tomorrow, like how sicker are you guys of each other? Just like how like

Wentworth

Surprisingly, not at all. Not at all. Yeah. No.

Young Hollywood

What's the most annoying thing about him? Wentworth?

Wentworth

Yeah. His Yeah, there's that. His his his his his superior IQ. Um no, it's the the constant munching I hear him. It's the the M&Ms. He just he just brings them everywhere. I'm

Young Hollywood

Just a soundtrack of your life. And I'll look around and Wentworth. You're a busy lady. Yeah. How are you managing this? You're at WonderCon. You're on this show, you're on Imposters, like what does your schedule look like?

Wentworth

Woo! I don't know. I stopped doing my schedule because I

Young Hollywood

assistant or a really good assistant.

Wentworth

I I don't not as of yet. If you know anyone, send them my way. I'll let you know. I think I'm at that point. Um I I don't do my own schedule anymore because I screw it up and then I end up to, you know, really late to meetings and that's really embarrassing. Um, so I'm, you know, just really grateful to be this busy, but trying my best to keep my cool through it.

Young Hollywood

So this show, I mean some time has passed by. What what do you think is the number one request that fans have had other than it just coming back?

Wentworth

I that's a very good question. Um, request. I I I I I can't answer that honestly. I I think they're excited probably primarily to see us back together. Just the characters that they love back in the same room doing what they do, but different. And this show, this reboot has that in spades.

Young Hollywood

This show you are a brand new character, but this is already this already has such a huge fan base. What was it like stepping into this universe for the first time?

Guest

Amazing. Yeah. I have to say, you know, it's there's a reason why Prison Break is such a phenomenon. I think it's such a universal uh universal language. People absolutely adore these characters and love the story. Yeah. And um they have been so welcoming to me and I I'm just enjoying all the love. It's been great.

Young Hollywood

What has been the most memorable fan encounter you've had? Prison Break fan encounter that you've had.

Wentworth

This uh old lady in Chicago. She uh thought uh I was shopping for some stuff in the CVS store. And this uh this old lady in the corner was looking at me. Very intensely and I just shrugged it off as like, ah, she's a fan. I went to the next and she followed me again. And before long, two policemen arrived and uh they said, "Excuse me, sir." Turn around, I said, "What seems to be the problem, officer?" And then they started laughing, they brought me to the old lady and said, "No, ma'am, he is an actor playing a prisoner who's escaped. He's not really an escaped convict." So that was memorable.

Young Hollywood

You can't beat that. Oh no, she said, "The show is the evening news." That's terrible. That's the best story.

Wentworth

Yeah. Recently, I uh I was getting off a plane. There was a woman in front of me and from uh woman in front of me in line. And she turned to me and she said, "I watched your show during chemo." Wow. She said, "A way to distract myself from what was going on for me in that moment." And I thought, you know what, what we do it's it's entertainment, you know, it's it's popcorn, but it can also touch and move and inspire.

Young Hollywood

Dominic, he's kind of a fun guy. What was it like working with him and what's something that we would be surprised to know about Dominic?

Guest

I think that Dominic has um maybe an image of, you know, he's such a he's a tough dude, right? He's he's tough, but he's the coolest cat. He's such a he's so cool. He's, you know, just just take him to the to the beach. He loves surfing. He's such a he's such a chill dude, you know. Um very welcoming, very open to everybody. Um super kind, gracious. I I'm I'm really, really blessed to to get to work with such amazing men.

Young Hollywood

So we shouldn't be afraid of him is what you're saying. Are you afraid of him? Okay, my friend described him as sexy, but in the steal your wallet kind of sexy.

Guest

Oh my God. Not even not even close. But I'm sure he would like that. He would like to steal my wallet. No, no, no. I he likes I think he likes the image because he also likes his space and his privacy. So I mean no, it's just it's all just he's the sweetest, sweetest guy.

Young Hollywood

Well, because I put uh I put you on blast with him. So you tell me now what's the most annoying thing about Dominic?

Guest

Uh I don't have any annoy about Dominic. I really don't. I really don't. Yeah. I just I just dig him.

Young Hollywood

Awesome.
