Post-Prison Break?

[leesider]

Just wondering what you all think will happen to the various actors in PB after the series ends?
Wentworth in particular. Do you think he is capable of doing what George Clooney and Bruce Willis have done in going from TV to movies and becoming a big star?
Not all people who've been successful on TV have translated that success to the big screen.

PRISON BREAK !!!!!! i love it!!!!<3

[smileyone]

A few of them have already done movies.... Linc, Mahone characters... even Mikey has done one, off the top of my head.... The one I would like to see do a movie most out of them all is Wentworth Miller.... We know how the others have worked in movies, to a certain extent... I'm not so sure I know what sort of movie etc... Mr. M would tackle into next.... Would be interesting thosugh, I'm sure.....

i think the problem lies in the fact that none of the actors in prison break are actually multi-dimensional actors.
See for michael, this role is tailor made for him.........
i could never imagine linc as a lead actor...
so on and so forth...

Actually Dom has been the lead actor in a tv show (John Doe) and a few movies before.

Yes, I truly would like to see WM first in more movies etc... more then the others... 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 actually agree with you here. I think many of the other characters have grown to be more interesting and have thus taken some of the spotlight from the Michael character. I've been reading a few reviews and such, here and there. And I think some of them are really on to something. I think some people miss the Michael from season one. The Michael who was always planning, always on top of things, the brains of the show. I think they attempted to go back to these roots in season four, at least with the episodes we have seen so far. However, I can't say how successful this has been, and there could be several reasons for this. For one, we have Mahone who is just as mentally capable as Michael. There have been times where he has shown that he can not only plan, but improvise when put in a sticky situation, which I think has taken away from the Michael character. This is supposed to be what Michael is most popular for, more known for, and having others there who, at times, contribute more makes Michael look less significant.
