See, being totally honest here and this is not a reflection at all on WM's acting abilities... but honestly Mikey character, compared to the others on a whole this season, is boring the c**p out of me. Every other character including Sara, seems to have upped their game a bit...

Linc has started using his brain more... Sucre is showing more anger issues, more emotion... speaking out more... Bellick, well he changed dramatically and lost his life for the team in the end, T Bag is showing more humour and at times needs to rely on the knowledge of others to get by... he isn't automatically top dog... even Sara, has gone from being a total mess, with drug addictions and how she copes in it's aftermath to a level of Blue print reader extraordinaire!!! Mahone, well... he for me has been the star of this current season. He has turned up on more occasions, to save the day then any of the others... He has shown such a mesh of raw emotions, that has won us all!!!

But with Mikey... He has stayed pretty much on the same level... no emotion etc... robotically churning stuff out... under the enormous pressure of being seen or generally regarded as the only one in the show with brains... I suppose, to counteract this, they need to do something with his condition as it is medically responsible for lack of emotions in a person... Removing that illness to a certain way... might open up his character alot more. ie... Give him a few more layers... I dunno.... I like WM and I like Mikey character, but honestly... as things stands.... neutrally speaking.... Mikey could die now and leave it and someone like Mahone could take over brain wise... For me, his character isn't the whole point of the show at this particular time...

Sorry if this offends any Michael or WM fans... it's only my honest opinion... It's no secret that I was a little more then mad and let down with all that Sara is dead/not dead fiasco... I haven't from the first day of that show ever warmed to that relationship.... it was never initially about that anyway... So I suppose, for that reason and the fact that I have followed the show from the very first day and invested time and energy in these characters... I feel this way about him!

Now, back to WM... for that reason, I would like to see him in another show or movie that would show more sides to his persona... Yes, he was in Ghost Whisperer... pilot ep... in fairness, he wasn't that bad in that one, for a first stab at small screen... [I think]... he did quite well... The emotions shown there were raw... I haven't seen him in anything else but those Mariah Carey video's.

Whereas I have seen Dom P and WF etc... in other shows/movies etc... WF is in so many things on TV nowadays... it's hard to find a day when something he is in either show or movie is not on TV at times... They were big budget things too. I loved that show Invasion... He did a cracking job in that one... well until it got cancelled.

Muse Watson, Paul Adelstein, Wade Williams, Don Self actor.. sorry name momentarily escapes me...],Cress Williams and Rob Knepper have all been in things recently on TV... be it movie or TV show... even Lechero character/actor is currently in Supernatural... so in a way, I am more familiar with the acting abilities of the rest. I would therefore really love to see more WM skills... I have faith in the guy... He is a talented man, I hope PB doesn't pigeonhole him into similiar roles... time will tell!!!

I completely agree. Finally!! Someone who understands that there is so much more to this show that just the relationship between Michael and Sara. Thank you!

Btw, if you ever want to see more of WM's acting skills, try "The Human Stain." It's a movie he did several years before PB. I wasn't crazy about the movie, but it was interesting to see him in a different role for comparison purposes. I'ts on DVD.
